Case-Insensitive Checking
If the system is configured for case-insensitive checking, any time a
bibliographic record is added or edited; all bibliographic headings under
authority control will be checked against the appropriate authority
indexes. Headings that do not match an authoritative term are marked
|UNAUTHORIZED. When matching best suited bibliographic headings
against the authority indexes, the capitalization of the bibliographic
heading need not exactly match that of the authorized term from the
authority record.
For example, the following bibliographic heading would be considered a
match to the following authorized term from the authority record if
checking is case-insensitive:
Bazaars, charitable (Bibliographic heading)
Bazaars, Charitable (Authorized term)
Case-Sensitive Checking
The case-sensitive checking configuration option is similar to caseinsensitive
checking, except that bibliographic headings must exactly
match the capitalization of authoritative terms in authority records. This
configuration of authority control is best suited to libraries with sufficient
staff to handle day-to-day authority control functions.
For example, the following bibliographic heading would not be
considered a match to the following authorized heading in the authority
record if checking is case-sensitive.
Navigation Acts, 1649-1696 (Bibliographic heading)
Navigation acts, 1649-1696 (Authorized term)
