What is Authority control?
In [[library science]] and [[information science]], '''authority control''' means the use and maintenance of the forms of names, subjects, uniform titles, etc. used as headings in a [[catalog]]. Since this creates a link between [[Bibliography|bibliographic]] records and the authority file, authority control provides the underlying structure of the catalog. ==Other websites== * [https://library.fiu.edu/about-us/cataloging/authority-control FIU Libraries] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906062421/https://library.fiu.edu/about-us/cataloging/authority-control |date=2015-09-06 }} [[Category:Libraries|*]] [[Category:Science]] {{Science-stub}}
