Currently in Evergreen to create a new authority record, as opposed to importing an authority record, you
need to have a bib record open in the bib MARC editor.
-
For example, if you want to create a new author
authority you need to have a bib record that has a bib 1xx or 7xx tag with the main entry filled out.
-
Then you need to right click on that 1xx or 7xx tag. In the context menu that shows up, select Create
New Authority from this field, then select either Create Immediately or Create and Edit….
-
If you
choose Create and Edit…, after the authority MARC editor opens you need to click on the Save button
to finally add the new authority record to your system.
