*AUTHORITY INTEREST GROUP*
*March 21, 2014*
1.Does a new authority need editing and see or see also references added
when created? Not necessarily; the single heading is sufficient.
2.Jason Stephenson from MVLC reiterated the use of his script for
BackStage Library Works for updating existing and new authorities on a
quarterly basis.
3.See/See also references and Manage Authorities issues:
a. Manage Authorities does not display ‘see’ and ‘see also’ references
upon searching; it would be helpful to have these shown in the queue
along with the authority itself.
b. Authority re-ingest for ‘see’ and ‘see also.’
c. The ability to create authorities from the Manage Authorities page.
Current bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1193490 - Authority merge
times out when there are too many records
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1233350 - Cannot edit more
than one authority under Manage Authorities unless you reload the page again
If there are any issues/topics I missed, please let me know.
