This guarantees the standardization and uniqueness of access points of catalogues, which makes it easier the exchange and a more efficient communication of bibliographic records and, in the end, enables users to carry out assisted, precise and exhaustive searches.
It was decided to establish a subcommittee to study the technical feasibility of the project and to prepare the requirements and functionality of the list of name and title authorities, taking into account the real needs of the Catalan Library System.
The authority records of CANTIC are created following the international cataloguing principles[5] and the specifications of the Biblioteca de Catalunya, which were approved by the CCUC.
[8] The Bibliographic Standardization Service is responsible for providing training and support to all participants while ensuring the quality of authority records.
The constant introduction of new authority records turns CANTIC into a living organism in a permanent process of transformation and change.
