1 Authority Control for Names in Tables of Contents: Special Processing of 970 Fields Carol Love

2 Who Benefits from 970 Processing? An Innovative Interfaces library with Table of Contents (TOC) data, planning to do an authorities processing backfile project No additional cost to include 970 $f All names will be in sync—names in Table of Contents (TOC) and names in 100, 700, etc. Processing only names in TOC would produce inconsistencies.

3 Required Database Characteristics Formatted Table of Contents in MARC tag 970, rather than 505. Primarily III systems. Name in inverted order present in 970, subfield $f –Direct order in 970 $c is standard –Inverted order in 970 $f is available from some sources Author/Name index includes names from 970 $f.

4 Sources of TOC Data in 970 Fields III libraries enrich their monographic MARC records by sending or obtaining MARC records from a company that adds the data to 505 or 970. For example: Table of Contents Service from Blackwell, a Baker & Taylor company. MARC Record Enrichment Service (TOC) from MARCIVE, Inc.

5 Internal MARCIVE Processing Names in 970 $f are copied to special process tags. Authorities processing is performed according to library specifications. Name headings are updated to current form. Appropriate authority records are identified. Inappropriate subfielding is removed. Updated names replace old names. If name could not be updated, existing name remains. Special process tags are removed.

6 Result: Better Search Results Consistency in Authors/Names Index. Both standard access points (X00) and TOC names (970 $f) have been upgraded and the results re-indexed. Consistency maintained. Notification Service tracks changes and provides corrections to all authorities, including those provided as a result of 970 $f processing. Future names integrated. New bibliographic records sent through Overnight Authorities are upgraded, including 970 $f fields.
