Hi Michael,
thank you for your reply.

I've tried what you suggested but I get no results.
I create an authority type, set the appropriate field to copy, use that
authority type in the Thesaurus option .When I try to catalogue a biblio
record, I get the selector on the field I want and opens the authority
search window but no matter what I try to search I get no results.

One thing I've noticed, and I don't know if it helps in any way, is that
after I've imported the Authorities into Koha from them "Stage MARC records"
tool, and without creating any kind of Authority type, in the biblio
framework in the 700 field i.e. this is what the $a subfield looks like
<http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5848532/2015-07-30_10_54_39-Koha_%E2%80%BA_Administration_%E2%80%BA_MARC_subfield_structure.png> 

when I open the subfield to edit it there is no option for an authority and
of course there is nothing in the Thesaurus option as well.

Am I missing something about the use of Authorities?
