In response to Mark Ehlert's question:

"Should we distinguish between "authority work" (the process of bringing bibliographic order to the catalog) and "authority control" (the outcome or goal of bringing bibliographic order to the catalog)?"

I meant both but should have said "authority control."

Your thoughts on the question: "Is doing authority work in our catalogues still necessary?"

Should we distinguish between "authority work" (the process of bringing bibliographic order to the catalog) and "authority control" (the outcome or goal of bringing bibliographic order to the catalog)?
