Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1976, vol. 27, issue 4, 224-229

Abstract: A computer system to maintain authority lists is described. The system updates authority lists from computer terminal input of the barest essential material. All reciprocal entries and alphabetization are performed by the system. Subdivisions and examples are identified by punctuational conventions and appropriate entries inserted into the list. Replacement pages or replacement lists may be obtained. This facility permits catalogers to have up‐to‐date authority lists at their disposal. The main system and some ancillary parts, also described, perform various error checking functions. The system also generates subject headings for a printed book catalog.
