RE: Automatic Authority Control

["Tomlinson, Andrea" <AndreaT@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
We just implemented our AACP on Tuesday and I can see its benefits
already.  I just wanted to point out a great handout I found on CSDirect
called "Using Headings Reports (#105070)" that has helped me make sense
of the new function reports I am getting for the authority control
processing.

Subject: Automatic Authority Control

We're using Millennium 2002 Phase 3:

Have a question for all of you about automatic authority control.
Currently, we do not have any authority records in our database.  As a
result, we have not used the Automatic Authority Control functionality
we
have available.  However, we're considering getting authority records
this
summer for our current database.  My question is (and this may sound
very
elementary), How does the "Automatic Authority Control" function work?
In
other words, once we get our initial load of authority records for what
we
have currently, what will this function allow us to do for incoming bib
records?  Will it generate authority records automatically (like our
previous system did)?  If you using this function, what have been your
experiences?  Positive/Negative?  What should we look out for when start
loading authority records?  Any advice you can give will be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks!
