If any Authority heading has been created incorrectly, for example with a spelling mistake, or if further information is discovered, for example an author’s full forenames, the record can be changed at any time. The results will be updated immediately on all titles linked to that authority heading. This applies to authors, subject headings, series, classmarks, publishers and places.
This process can be carried out either as a secondary search from a title record, or from a search in the authority files.
The changes are immediately visible wherever that authority heading is in use.
As titles and any new authority headings are created in OLIB they are automatically given the status of "To be checked", though this has no impact on their access or use. If your library does follow a process of checking the records can then be authorised after the checking.
Note: you can put records into Folders for checking.
Note that titles and authority headings for authorisation can be easily identified by running a filtered search.
