Scope
Authorities: Format and Indexes provides details on selected topics that catalogers need to identify and verify information in bibliographic and/or authority records via the OCLC ® authority file. It does not cover procedures for finding, creating, modifying, saving, or exporting authority records. Nor does it explain specialized functions such as replacing master name authority records or creating records and adding them to the authority file.
Connexion documentation. For task-specific procedures, refer to OCLC Connexion ® Help (within the browser or client interface) and additional documentation available on the OCLC web site at:
Bibliographic records. For comprehensive information about WorldCat bibliographic records, see OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards
Audience
Authorities: Format and Indexes contains detailed authorities-related information that can assist the following library staff:
Superseded documentation
Authorities: Format and Indexes supersedes the third edition of the Authorities User Guide.
You can search the authority file to determine if an authoritative heading exists. If an authorized heading exists, it is described in an authority record.
An authority record contains information about a name, a uniform title, or a topical subject heading. Each authority record may contain the established form of the heading, see from references, see also from references, and notes. The record also contains coded data that describes characteristics of the heading or record.
Records have fixed-length fields that contain coded information from the MARC 21 Leader, 005 and 008 fields. Records have variable-length fields that contain coded and textual information.
The OCLC authority file contains records received from the Library of Congress (LC) and records added by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) participants. Connexion allows you to display, create, and maintain headings in authority records as part of the cataloging, reference, or acquisitions process.
Types of headings. The OCLC authority file contains authority records for the following types of headings:
Library of Congress, PCC, NACO, and SACO. The Library of Congress (LC) and Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) libraries, which participate in the Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) or the Subject Authority Cooperative Program (SACO) create and contribute authority records according to the rules and specifications in the following documentation:
LC record loads. OCLC adds records created by LC staff, SACO participants, and non-OCLC NACO participants through electronic transfer. OCLC adds name authority records daily and subject authority records weekly.
The Library of Congress maintains two separate authority files: one for names and one for subjects.
LC name authority file. LC staff and NACO participants create headings for personal, corporate, conference and geographic names, as well as uniform title and series headings.
LC subject authority file. LC creates records for headings and heading-subdivision combinations included in Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). LC does not necessarily create a record for every unique heading-subdivision combination assigned to a bibliographic record.
Categories not included in LCSH. Because LCSH excludes the following categories of headings, LC creates no subject authority records for:
LC creates and distributes name authority records for the first two categories.
Scope of the subject authority file. The subject authority file does not contain records for non-LC authority systems such as MeSH (Medical Subject Headings), NAL (National Agricultural Library), and LAC (Library and Archives Canada).
LC authority record prefixes. LC assigns authority record control numbers (LCCNs) to all authority records. The control number consists of an alphabetic prefix plus eight or ten digits. The alphabetic prefix indicates which system created the authority record.
System | Assigned Prefix(es) |
---|---|
British Library | nb - for name headings |
LC | dg - for demographic terms (LCDGT) gf - for genre/form terms (LCGFT) mp - for medium of performance terms (LCMPT) n - for name headings sh - for subject headings sj - for subject headings for children |
OCLC | no - for name headings |
RLIN | nr - for name headings Note: No new authority records were added via RLIN after 2007. |
SkyRiver | ns - for name headings |
Note: In-process records for proposed LC subject headings are found only in the Library of Congress online system. These records have LCCNs prefixed with sp
Unique characteristics in LC records. LC subject records may contain the following unique characteristics:
Former headings used as cross-references. The LC subject authority file contains only headings and cross-references from the current edition of LCSH, its supplements, and weekly lists. Cross-references that link subject headings formerly used to their current forms may or may not be present.
Geographic subdivision practice. Topical subject headings (field 150) and topical subdivision headings (field 180) do not always support subdivision by place.
To indicate that field 150 and/or field 180 may be subdivided geographically, the fixed-field element Geo subd contains code i.
Code n or a fill character, in Geo subd indicates that the heading in field 150 and/or field 180 may not be subdivided geographically.
The Library of Congress has identified headings that are representative of particular categories. Such headings are called pattern headings. These representative headings in each category are established in the subject authority file with a set of subdivisions appropriate for use with other headings belonging to the category. The following table lists those pattern headings identified by LC. Pattern headings can help you:

Specific kinds of editing capabilities and actions you can take on bibliographic and authority records depend on your OCLC cataloging authorization level.
OCLC assigns each library one or more authorization numbers to log on to Connexion. The authorization is associated with the cataloging level established by your OCLC profile. The authorization tells Connexion when you log on what actions you are authorized to take.
Authorization levels and available actions for authority records. The following table lists authorization levels in order of most basic to highly specialized, with a list of actions available for authority records at each level.

Each variable field may have between 1 and 9,999 characters. Variable fields have three parts:
The system groups variable fields by MARC 21 tags. Tags that begin with the same digit have similar functions. In the following list, xx stands for any numeric value (00–99).
Tag group | Function |
---|---|
0xx | Control numbers, call numbers, coded data |
1xx | Established headings |
260 | Complex see reference (subject) |
360 | Complex see also reference (subject) |
4xx | See from reference |
5xx | See also from reference |
6xx | Series treatment information, notes, source citations |
7xx | Heading linking entries |
856 | Electronic location and access |
9xx | Locally defined headings |
Indicators supply data for indexing and other system functions. Numbers in the indicator positions have assigned meanings, and in some fields blank ( ) is meaningful. Variable field indicators may have the following combinations:
Subfields are the smallest logical unit of data in a variable field. Subfield codes (letters or numbers) identify subfields and are preceded by subfield delimiters ( ‡). Subfields usually have textual descriptions of the authority information, but some contain coded information.
Whenever subfield ‡a is the first subfield, both the delimiter and subfield code are implicit and do not display.
Subfield ‡w appears only in applicable 4xx, 5xx, and 7xx fields.
4xx and 5xx fields. Control subfield ‡w in the 4xx and 5xx fields contains four character positions (designated as ‡w/0, ‡w/1, etc). It provides information about a specific relationship between a tracing (4xx or 5xx field) and a heading (1xx field).
The code definitions are position-dependent. If you code any of the character positions ‡w/1- ‡w/3 with a meaningful value [that is, a value other than n ( not applicable)], you must code all the preceding positions with n as a placeholder. Succeeding positions need not be coded. If all four positions contain n, subfield ‡w does not appear.
Example:
400 10 Sayers, Dorothy Leigh, ‡d 1893–1957 ‡w nna
The first two positions are coded n because the third position requires code a. The field contains a form of Sayers' name established under earlier cataloging rules. No code is needed in the fourth position because it does not apply to this tracing.

n | Not applicable | |
2 | Earlier Form of Heading • Indicates whether the 4xx field is an earlier form of the heading established in the relevant national authority file or in an authority file other than the national authority file. |
|
a | Pre-AACR2 form of heading (national name authority file) | |
e | Earlier established form of heading (national authority file) | |
n | Not applicable | |
3 | Reference Display • Enables the generation or suppression of a cross reference from a 4xx or 5xx tracing. |
|
a | Reference not displayed | |
b | Reference not displayed, field 664 used | |
c | Reference not displayed, field 663 used | |
d | Reference not displayed, field 665 used | |
n | Not applicable |
7xx fields. Control subfield ‡w in the 7xx fields contains two character positions designated as ‡w/0 and ‡w/1.
Position | Code | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | Link Display Code • Controls the suppression of a link display. |
|
a | Link not displayed | |
b | Link not displayed, field 788 used | |
c | Link not displayed, non-7xx field used | |
n | Not applicable | |
1 | Replacement Complexity Code • Indicates whether heading replacement requires review. |
|
a | Heading replacement does not require review | |
b | Heading replacement requires review | |
n | Not applicable |
The following table lists variable fields typically used in LC/NACO name authority records and LC subject authority records. Not all fields and/or subfields appear in records distributed by LC. Throughout this table, R = repeatable tag, NR = nonrepeatable tag, and = blank.

When appropriate, OCLC changes records in the OCLC authority file. OCLC can correct tagging and typographical errors and add or modify references in name authority records, as well as resolve conflicts and disagreements with the form of heading. OCLC also merges data as appropriate on duplicate authority records before reporting to LC for final processing.
Note: OCLC cannot make changes to subject authority records (i.e., any record with LCCN prefix sh, sj, or gf).
The OCLC MARC Organization Code OCoLC in subfield ‡d of field 040 identifies OCLC-modified records.
