Hi all,
We are currently trying to implement Czech National authorities into Evergreen and have some question concerning authority records (and may be contribution to the debate on authorities during Evergreen conference in Hood River) . 1) Does Evergreen support Z39.50 update function? Libraries in the Czech Republic are involved in creation of authority records s and the issue of Z39.50 update is crucial because tool providing update of records of the Czech national authorities by cooperating libraries is based on Z39.50 update function. 2) Is it possible to replace Evergreen system authority number in field 001 with Czech National authority control number? According to the Czech national cataloging practice in the authority record the field 001 is used for Czech national authority control number. It is of course possible to use field 016 (National Bibliographic Agency Control Number), but as the cooperation is based on „living“ update via Z39.50, moving authority control number might be complication and potential barrier to cooperation. Thanks in advance for answers :-) Eva --- Mgr.
