More metadata, more metadata problems● Vendor based DAMS often not offering good authority control solutions● Use LC Authorities as best we can● Hosting partner collections = less control over cataloging practices● Libraries often consult additional regional names sources○ Daughters of Utah Pioneers name index: http://www.dupinternational.org/pioneer_index.phpIMLS Grant for regional authority control 1.
