1. Authority Control and Alma: A look at change from many Angles
Guy Frost, Georgia NACO Coordinator

2. The Future of MARCIVE
Weekly Marcive Authorities loads are a thing of the past
One time Authorities “Wash” planned
Converting AACR2 forms to RDA forms (Dept. to Department)
Adds FAST Headings
Removes foreign language terms
Enhances records with Lexile Data
Caveats:
WorldShare Metadata Services will erase these some of these additions
Time still under discussion; possibly December
Future Project to consider:
Adding Lexile Data to OCLC records, making them permanent

3. Alma and Authorities Alma Authorities Functionality
Cancelled Headings (e.g., undifferentiated names)
Unqualified changed to Qualified Access Points
Changes in Geographic Headings
MARC Fields, Indicators, Subfields reports
Multi-Matches (variant access points)
Topical Subject Heading Changes
WorldShare Metadata Services may make many of these irrelevant
Types of notification Reports
Preferred Term Collection
Handle Local Authority Record Updates
Linked BIB Headings

4. Linking to Authority Records
Populating of new Authority Records into the Knowledge Base is not real time

5. Local Authority Records
Alma (like Voyager) allows for the creation of Local Headings
Local headings used as access points by the institution
Some of these might be useful to all of USG (e.g., Georgia authors)
Alternative commonly used for grouping archival/special collections materials
Others created Name Heading Authority Records
Does required additional Configuration

6. Georgia NACO Funnel Georgia NACO Funnel Founded 2014
3 Independent libraries (2 academic and 1 public)

Guy Frost, Valdosta State University
More coordination needed between NACO libraries and USG libraries
In addition to Valdosta and West Georgia, UGA is a third NACO Library
SACO Libraries
Valdosta and UGA
CONSER
UGA
More PCC Libraries Needed to better distribute the work load
