description
The Indiana University PCC Non-MARC Authorities Issues Group was formed in response to the Program for Cooperative Cataloging’s (PCC) call for “... a well-articulated plan as to how [a non-MARC authorities] future could work based on [ideas from the PCC community].” Of particular interest were ideas that could serve as a bridge “between an ideal world and what [catalogers] can do now to create [that world].” The group proposes cataloging policy changes that promote robust, granular encoding practices and the addition of meaningful linkages to other data points.

The Pitch
By enriching authority data:• We can use that data now!
• We can publish data openly for remix/reuse
• We can anticipate BIBFRAME/linked data implementation
We want better discovery interfaces for our users
