The following table shows the relationship between the authority templates, their
authority tags, and some of the bibliographic tags they parallel. Some terms can

usually used as author or uniform title entries.

When you select a template, the MARC Editor window opens with the template's
default information (see page 265). To enter an authority record, continue with

How are authority records different?
Just like bibliographic records, authority records contain both fixed-length and
variable-length tags. By choosing the template that matches your needs, you'll
