Hi Rubén, I don't think there is a way to optionally use authorities in one field. However, you can use the BiblioAddsAuthorities system preference to allow catalogers to freely enter names in the 700 field. That way, they don't have to search for existing authorities. You also have to set AutoCreateAuthorities to "do not generate" so that the names the catalogers enter don't create new authorities. The only downside is that those system preferences apply to *all* fields. So you can't force authorities in the 100 field but not in the 700 field, for example. I hope that helps, Caroline -- Caroline Cyr La Rose, M.L.I.S. Librarian, Head of Training and Support inLibro Le 2018-08-23 à 05:05, Rubén Fernández Asensio a écrit :
Hello all, In my library, we've decided to do authority control for added entries only for personal names meeting certain requirements. (We're probably in violation of all cataloguing rules, but we just haven't got the time and means to control all secondary authors, and yet don't want to fully renounce authority control; there must be a middle ground.) However, there's no way to activate the authority thesaurus only optionally and allow free text typing instead. I've tried adding a second 700 field with different requirements but it's not added. A new 700a subfield simply replaces the previous one. Is there a technical way around this? Or else, a better way of achieving this, and allowing one single record to have different 700 fields with authority control and without it? What would you do?
