I would look at how the records needed to be loaded into my file. If I have separate authority files for name, subject and series, than I would want the files separated to make loading easier. f I have one file I would not separate the files.

We are a small health science college on Horizon 7.3.3. We have only 14,076 bibs and 57,735 authority records. I can't figure out if we should request our authority files be returned segmented into name,subject, series and title. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you. Anna What we see depends mainly on what we look for. --John Lubbock Anna Barnard System Administrator John A.
