Abstract

Vendor sets of bibliographic records are readily available and must be loaded into our catalogs to provide patron access to the items used most. However, batch-load authority control can be an arduous process because bibliographic standards vary between sets. Librarians at Virginia Tech have implemented a process that includes authority control cleanup before batched bibliographic records are loaded into the catalog. This article describes the process used.
