My dear Koha Developers
I want to know what is Authorities in KOHA . What is the
function of Authorities in koha
Authority records for names and subjects are used to impose a controlled
form of a term. In doing so, they avoid having two different forms that
describe the same thing, both of which may not be found by a search
term (e.g. Shakespeare, William vs. Bill Shakespear.)
More explanation here:

There is nothing unique to Koha in this, it applies to all library systems.
