Authority Template Workform

Authority templates help you create new authority records quickly. The information in the authority template is carried into all authority records created with the template. For example, if in the authority template you create a MARC 21 100 tag for Mark Twain (100 10 ‡aTwain, Mark ‡d1835-1910.‡tWorks.‡f1972.), a new authority record based on the template would have the same information in the 100 tag. The information can then be edited if it is not applicable to the new record. You create authority templates the same way you create authority records. See Creating MARC Records for detailed information about the Authority Record workform.
