[MinervaCats] authority records

[Rebecca Francis]

Hi Valerie,

If no authority record exists for this person, and there is no conflict 
with any other David Goldfarb in our database, you should go ahead and 
include him in a 700 field.  It's ok to add someone even if they haven't 
yet been 'authorized.'

[MinervaCats] authority records






What should I do when I run into people who have no authority heading in 
the Library of Congress? For example, I am working on: Fathers and sons 
/|cIvan Turgenev ; translated by Constance Garnett ; with an introd. and 
notes by David Goldfarb. I would like to add David Goldfarb in a 700 
field, but LC does not have an authority record for him. Should I just not 
include a 700 for him? 
 
Thanks for any suggestions,
