What is an authorityrecord?

An authority record is a tool

used by librarians to establish forms of names (forpersons, places, meetings, and organizations), titles, and subjects used on bibliographic records.

Authority records enable librarians to provide uniform access to materials in library

catalogs and to provide clear identification of authors and subject

headings. For example, works about "movies," "motion

pictures," "cinema," and "films" are all entered underthe established subject heading "Motion pictures."

Authority records also provide crossreferences to lead users to the headings used in the

catalog, e.g., a search under: Snodgrass,

Quintus Curtius, 1835-1910 will lead users tothe authorized form of heading for MarkTwain, i.e., Twain, Mark, 1835-1910.

It is important to note that authority records do not represent materials in the Library's collection, rather they are a tool used by librarians to organize the

library catalog and assist users in finding those materials.

A recent reviewer (in a library publication) noted that usersmay find helpful information in Library of Congress Authorities, such as an author's

middle name or a company name change.

But generally speaking, Library of Congress Authoritiesis aservice intended for use by technical services librarians and

others interested in using LC authority records in theircatalogs.

Standard Rules for

Cataloguing The furnishing1 of cataloguing information, is equivalent to making

some important cataloguing decisions at the pre-natal stage ofthe book.

To make decisions consistent and uniform, the correspondingrules of cataloguing should themselves be standardised.

It is improper to perpetuate the past practices simply becausethe old books have been catalogued according to them.

A basic problem for pursuit in cataloguing is for the libraryprofession to educate itself in establishing a bold, forwardlooking, international* national, and linguistic standard for the

rules of cataloguing. (P.507)

PROBLEMS IN RESPECT OFINDIAN DOCUMENTS

Absence of Books for Guidance

We need the publication of materials forhelp in respect of author headings andsubject headings. We also need the help inregard to the difficulties in alphabetical

arrangement, caused by the inflectionaland coalescence quality of the Indianlanguages.


14/45




Outstanding Problems for Pursuit1 Preparation of a dictionary of anonyms and pseudonyms for Indian publications.

2. Preparation of a dictionary of authorial polyonymy andhomonymy for the classics in Sanskrit and in the otherlanguages of India, as suggested by the late Professor SKuppu-gwami Sastri (40).

3. Preparation of a dictionary of surnames in the linguisticareas, of India, where they are in vogue. Some work hasbeen done for Bengali. Surnames (14).


15/45




Outstanding Problems for Pursuit

4. Preparation of a dictionary of the honorific,community, and other kinds of removable and irremovableprefixes and suffixes found in names (24).

5. Preparation of a dictionary of the laquabs, isms,kunyahs, nisbahs, takhallus, and the familiar namesoccurring in the names of Muslims belonging to differentregions and times.

6. Authoritative list of the place-names in India.

Preparation of a handbook of learned societies, and othersimilar institutions, conferences, and periodical

publications, showing place, year of foundation or

commencement, as the case may be, changes in names,

volume-periodicities, years of sus-pension, amalgamation,splitting up partially or totally, and every other vagary.

The extent to which words coalesced by Samasa or

Sandhishould be separated out for use of words in

subject headings and standard technical glossaries indifferent languages for diverse subject fields. (Page 304)

NATIONAL ECONOMYAND UNIFORMITY IN

CATALOGUING

Centralised Cataloguing

As stated in Sec BF1, there will be a national saving of 79

per cent in the cataloguing cost of the books published ina country, if cataloguing is done centrally and printed

catalogue cards are supplied to the libraries (34). If a

country is unilingual, one national centre for cataloguing

will be sufficient. If it is multilingual such as India, there

should be a Linguistic Centre for each of the languages.

In addition to national economy, centralised cataloguing

will automatically ensure uniformity.


18/45





CATALOGUING

Pre-Natal Cataloguing

In my (SRR) address at the Library ofCongress, on 12 August 1948, developed the idea

of "Pre-natal Cataloguing". It means, cataloguing a book at the proof

stage that is, before its publication and publishing its catalogue card

simultaneously with the book (37).


19/45





CATALOGUING

Post-Natal CataloguingIn the practice of the British National Bibliography (=BNB), the master-stencil for the catalogue card of a bookis produced at the same time as it is' listed in the British

national bibliography. With the aid of this stencil, theBNB Office supplies the printed cards so as to reach thelibrary concerned not later than the arrival of the bookitself. The ordering of a new book by a library is generally

based on the weekly issue of the British nationalbibliography. Therefore, the post-natal cataloguing byBNB is virtually equivalent to pre-natal cataloguing (38).


20/45




Cataloguing at Source

In 1958, the Council of Library Resources Inc. of USA tried

out a pilot project forpre-natal cataloguing and for printing thecatalogue entry in a standard place in the book itself. But the

publishing world was not whole-heartedly for this project. In

other countries too, it may take time to get full cooperation

from the publishers to carry out pre-natal cataloguing. Thus,the reaching of the ideal of national saving in cataloguing cost

through pre-natal cataloguing may have to wait for some

time.

At Least Uniformity in Cataloguing

But at least, uniformity can be secured in cataloguing in

spite of each library doing its own cataloguing. (p-505)


21/45




Knowledge Organisation

In the more traditional sense, it means a collection of books.

This collection and services are usedby people who choose not to or cannot afford to purchase anextensive collection themselves,

Who need material no individual can

reasonably be expected to have,or who require professional assistancewith their research.

Reading culture promotion- what it entails in

Knowledge Generation

There is so much hues about bad reading habit or lack of desirable reading culture in many

societies, especially developing nations.

But, it becomes imperative to examine whatreading promotion entails.

And should we say "what is there to promoteabout reading?"


23/45




Reading culture promotion- what it entails in

Knowledge Generation Is it book alone that has to be read or other materials

like magazines, newspapers have to be taken on board? Why does reading culture has to be inculcated among

citizens? Is it possible to promote reading without due attention

to libraries and their stock levels? What roles do authors, journalists, politicians have to

play to achieve meaningful outcome from any reading

promotion task? Do Librarians have any relevance in advocacy relating to

readership promotion?


24/45




Knowledge Generation

Knowledge creation is really a symbiotic event,where two ideas come together to form a new one.So knowledge can be gained from any manner ofexperience,

either reading, ortalking, ordebate.

The reason for emphasizing debate

was to illustrate the need for two ideas to cometogether.


25/45




Knowledge GenerationKnowledge Management (KM) initiates

the free-flowing exchange of ideas,both on a tacit and explicit level,between individuals/groups.

This is accomplished viathe semblance of a Knowledge Forum,either in person or electronically, butwhich facilitates all measure of discussion, debate,conjecture and contribution.It serves as a hotbed for knowledge creation, andprovides a central focus for employees to contributeto the success of the organization.

Social Networking Software for

Knowledge Dissemination

in order to make libraries not only "cool" in the public'seyes, but alsoas a third space in which potential library users can

participate in an collaborative exchange with theirlibraries.It also may allow users to build relationships with thelibrary staff and other library users.

Social media is becoming more and more a must forlibraries and many libraries are finding that when usedproperly it can be a great tool to save money and promotelibrary services and collections.

Knowledge management is essential for all kinds of libraries and

information centre as library / information centregenerate knowledge,store knowledge andprocess for dissemination.

To succeed, S&T library / information centres needaccess to, and becomeproficient in, the use of effective tools,methods, and practices that allow them to become self-sufficient in managing knowledge well.

Many leading research institutes KM to achieve and sustainworld-class performance. For some, the value of KM isunquestionable and long-term. Others have started to buildopportunity unambiguous and to enumerate accomplishments.
