Why Control Authority?
by Anne Welsh in Library Marginalia
Preparing this week’s lecture, I came across an interesting paper by Ling Hwey Jeng questioning the necessity and cost-effectiveness of authority control.
After a brief synopsis of the main aims and objectives, Jeng concludes that
In cataloging, accuracy means authoritative, standardized, and consistent accuracy. It means both completeness (i.e. retrieving all relevant information), and without false information (i.e. [...]... Read more »
