Clarivate | Ex Libris Knowledge Day
Abstract
While Alma includes (at the current time) 58 different authority vocabularies in the Community Zone, it is also possible to use local authorities which have a functional preference over the global authorities.
During this session we will investigate how both the Global Authorities from the Community Zone as well as local authorities can be used. Topics we will cover include:
- Why do we use authorities?
- Global authorities in Alma
- Local authorities in Alma
- How does Alma know which vocabulary to use for subjects?
- How does Alma know which vocabulary to use for names?
- The difference between F3 and saving a record with linked bibliographic heading
- The job “Preferred Term Correction”
- The Authority Control Task List
