Configuring the Cataloging Module
Configuring authorities system preferences
We will need to set two system preferences:
BiblioAddsAuthorities: Turn this Off, if you expect to have authority
records available for use during creation of bibliographic records. If this is
set to On, authority control is turned off; Catalogers can enter the data in
the field, and Koha automatically creates authority records based
on what is
entered in the corresponding bibliographic field.
dontmerge: Set this to On, if you want linked bibliographic records to be
automatically updated when an authority records is updated.
