Mandarin hosts an online Library of Congress authority database that is updated continuously and available to Oasis users on an annual subscription basis.
This real-time online authority database provides over 5 million subject and name headings.
As headings are added, or as existing headings are modified, Mandarin libraries are able to import and immediately utilize this data.
The Authority Control module automatically connects using the Internet to retrieve needed records.
The process is seamless, and automatically corrects headings in bibliographic records without staff intervention.
Licensing
The subscription to the Library of Congress authority database is site licensed annually per collection and there is no restriction on the number of client work- stations that can access the database.
