- Abstract
- Presents a rebuttal of C.N. Cinneide's article: 'A foolish consistency ...' In the original. In the original article it was argued that the efforts to achieve authority control in online catalogues are both misguided and counter productive, and that although authority control may be beneficial in a traditional, manually produced catalogue, it is of little or no value in the online environment. Suggested that in future authority control may be dispensed with, thus releasing professional library staff from routine cataloguing tasks and leading to a greater integration of library services. Argues that the author fails to understand that the controlled vocabulary provided by authority headings is a prerequisite for effective information retrieval in online systems and that the cost of autority control will be reduced in future as a consequence of developments in technology and by cooperation between cataloguing agencies
