Abstract

The paper describes and emphasizes the importance of authority control for personal names in the development of library catalogues. The introductory part of the paper presents a historical overview of the development of authority control in world librarianship, the most important library conferences that dealt with this topic, as well as the way authority control functions in the world and in library-information systems operating on the COBISS platform. The paper also describes the entire process of creating the Montenegrin authority file of personal names, its importance for cataloguing and the development of universal bibliographic control and the Montenegrin library community. CONOR.CG is developed in accordance with the Guidelines for Authority Records and References (GARR), in the COMARC/A Format for Authorities Data. The format belongs to the COMARC family, as well as the format for bibliographic data COMARC/B on which the mutual catalogue COBIB.CG is based. The index of authority records is created by applying the national cataloguing rules PPIAK. Authority control of personal names in the COBISS.CG system, in which unique headings are used in Cyrillic and Latin letters, is based on the implemented standard model of bibliographic and authority records with parallel fields.
