ties to authorities while cataloging
Everyone, Sorry but this another stupid newbie question. I'm still trying to figure out how authorities are used in Koha. Is there a way to search the authority files for headings while cataloging in Koha - for example to see what headings are already established or have been used in the catalog already?

When in the MARC editor, any tag which is linked to an authority heading will have a "..." link next to it. Click that to open a pop-up window in which to do an authority search. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

The tag editor ( opened by clicking on "..." as mentioned below) will tell you how many times a term has been used too.
