Re: Authorities without cross-references?

[Leonore Linsky <llinsky at minlib dot net>]

I always think it is a mistake not to load all the authority records.
They are an invaluable reference tool. They help you distinguish common 
names. They will be a cataloging resource and will tell you if a name is 
established as an authorized heading.
Without these the Verify command won't be very useful.
