[DCRM-L] DCRM-L] [Fwd: Re: [RDA-L] Authority Files on the Web]

[Deborah J. Leslie]

This brings up interesting questions about what kind of priority we
should accord headings in these files. I've just looked at a few
records, and find them a little hard to parse, partly because the heavy
coding isn't display-friendly, and partly because there seems to be
scanty information about the person and justification for the heading.
The lack of information in the records reminds me of pre-1984 LC
authority records.

I'd be very interested to hear what kind of experience any of you have
using these international authority files. I'll report on our
experience, too.
