The need for co-operation in creating and maintaining multilingual subject authority files
IFLA Council and General Conference, (1999)Zusammenfassung
The tasks of creation, management and maintenance of multilingual subject authority files require significant resources, and are therefore best carried out in co-operation. Four national libraries in Europe (the Swiss National Library, la Bibliothèque de France, Die Deutsche Bibliothek, the British Library) have worked together on a feasibility study into linking existing subject authority files in three different languages to offer multilingual subject access to their files.
