For libraries without an integrated online catalog equipped with an
automated authority control function, the maintenance of an authority
file is a highly complex and time‐consuming task. Although LC′s name and
series authority records are readily available on OCLC, neither holdings
nor local information can be added to these records and retained for
future use. For the most part, libraries resort to maintaining a local
authority file on 3 × 5 cards to assist in cataloging decision‐making.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
