We do not use authorities in our current system, is there some source of authority records that I could run my current marc database against and then load? Apologies if the is a silly question. On Sep 18, 2009, at 9:10 AM, David Schuster wrote:
Part of the problem here is finding a place to Z to. LC doesn't provide Z access to their Authority base at this time that I know of. When we were on our "OTHER" ILS we had to search LC and download them one at a time.
I do know there are "authority services" provided by companies for ongoing maintenance, but I am not sure where Koha stands with this type of work.
I would like the browse by subject to actually work in the pac. I see that the "see reference" option is now actually showing titles...

The Koha set up is somewhat clunky, but is at least a beginning in trying to make things standardized. The first improvement I would suggest is the ability to import LC authority headings into Koha...
I think this is a great enhancement idea. Something similar to the marc import tool or possibly similar to the z3950 biblio search. Would you mind opening an enhancement request at http://bugs.koha.org so that we can keep track of it and possibly garner some sponsorship for it?

What are the authorities for? I cant find a explanation for them, I am trying to edit the 100 $a field, i figured out how to add authorities, do a search for that authority to stick it in the 100$a field, but whats the point? I could just turn them off, would it have a great affect on things?
Thanks. For those that reply.
