* The Authority Record provides a standardized form of preferred name for people, organizations/corporate bodies, families, titles, subject headings, series, genre headings, and other types of information. You will typically not create this as part of routine cataloguing but you will be required to authorize "headings" in your bibliographic record according to existing authority records.Usual workflow is to start with the bibliographic record - checking authority records during this process, move on to the holding record, and finally to the item record (when applicable).#### What Format and Language Is it?Is your resource physical? Electronic? Is it a music score, manuscript, DVD? Is it a monograph (a single published resource like a book) or a serial (something continuously published)? Is your resource in English or another language? Depending on the answer to these questions, you will also need to follow specific instructions in how to catalogue them.The Formats section of this LibGuide will provide additional guidance.For non-English language material, see Non-English Language Material.#### To Which Library and/or Location does the Resource Belong?There are special instructions for libraries and locations. See the Libraries and Locations section for further instruction.#### Where did the resource come from / how was it acquired?Was the resource a gift? Is it a standing order or continuing resource? Was it purchased on a particular endowment fund? Depending on how the resource was acquired, there may be particular metadata to addor handling instructions.#### Is the resource an added copy or volume?Is the resource an additional copy of something the library already owns? Or is it an additional volume of a multi-volume set? If so, there are specific instructions for how to handle this material.Electronic Inventory - PortfoliosThe same call, in code.
