Joshua,

There is a small set you can get for testing. http://tinyurl.com/37ufz
The MARC 21 Authority Records for GSAFD Genre Terms are freely
available.

Sincerely,

Hi Ed,

Koha (http://koha.org) uses MARC authority records. You can demo the
authority headings search on LibLime's OPAC demo:

http://opac.liblime.com

What we're lacking is a really good MARC21 Authorities Records (the
example you see above was generated from the data in that database
rather than from an external authorities file). I've looked into
purchasing authorities from the LOC but it's pretty expensive. If you
have access to a good set of authorities and would like to test the
capabilities of the system using them, let me know.

Cheers,
