=== Direction for use of PFAN Guidelines ===
The PFAN Guidelines for authority records should be used by catalogers and institutions
participating in PFAN and creating authority records to be added to Canadiana authority files. The
guidelines may also be used by institutions that need or want to know special PFAN practice in authority
records. As already mentioned, these guidelines are intended to be used in conjunction with the MARC
21 Format for Authority Data. Data requirements that are not specific to PFAN are
presented only in the main text of the authorities format.
PFAN participants creating authority records must also apply the appropriate procedures presented elsewhere on the wiki (e.g., the Name Authority Manual).
