+Authority Control Sets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+The tags and subfields that display in authority records in Evergreen are
+proscribed by control sets. The Library of Congress control set is the default
+control set in Evergreen. In Evergreen release 2.2, you can create customized
+control sets for authority records. Also, you can define thesauri and authority
+fields for these control sets.
+
+Patrons and staff will be able to browse authorities in the OPAC. The following
+fields are browsable by default: author, series, subject, title, and topic. You
+will be able to add custom browse axes in addition to these default fields.
+
+Control Sets
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can specify the MARC tags and subfields that an authority record should
+contain. The Library of Congress control set exists in the staff client by
+default. The control sets feature enables librarians to add or customize new
+control sets.
+
+To access existing control sets, click *Admin* -> *Server Administration* ->
+*Authorities* -> *Control Sets*.

+
+Thesauri
+~~~~~~~~
+
+A thesaurus describes the semantic rules that govern the meaning of words in a
+MARC record. The thesaurus code, which indicates the specific thesarus that
+should control a MARC record, is encoded in a fixed field using the mnemonic
+Subj in the authority record. Eleven thesauri associated with the Library of
+Congress control set exist by default in the staff client.
+
+To access an existing thesaurus, click *Admin* -> *Server Administration* ->
+*Authorities* -> *Control Sets*, and choose the hyperlinked thesaurus that you
+want to access, or click *Admin* -> *Server Administration* -> *Authorities* ->
+*Thesauri*.
+
+
+To add a *Thesaurus*:
+
+. Click *Admin* -> *Server Administration* -> *Authorities* -> *Control Sets*,
+and choose the hyperlinked thesaurus that you want to access, or click *Admin*
+-> *Server Administration* -> *Authorities* -> *Thesauri*. . Click *New
+Thesaurus*. . Add a *Thesaurus Code*. Enter any single, upper case character.
+This character will be entered in the fixed fields of the MARC record. . Add a
+*Name* to the thesaurus. Enter any number of characters. . Add a *Description*

+Authority Fields
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+
+Authority fields indicate the tags and subfields that should be entered in the
+authority record. Authority fields also enable you to specify the type of data
+that should be entered in a tag. For example, in an authority record governed
+by a Library of Congress control set, the 100 tag would contain a "Heading -
+Personal Name." Authority fields also enable you to create the corresponding
+tag in the bibliographic record that would contain the same data.
+
+To create an *Authority Field*:
