--- Comment #3 from Heather <heather_hernandez at nps.gov> ---
I would LOVE to have an "Advanced Authority Editor" for authority records. 
Editing authorities with all the many, many, many tabs that have to be clicked
through...wait to load...wait to load...ALL the clicking load, clicking load,
clicking load...it makes editing an authority record very laborious, very
tedious, and very slow.  Considering that most authority records are very
short, it really drags out the process to edit them.  A typical edit that I do
is to add a locally used term into a 4XX field, with a 667 note, and a $d code
in the 040, and that could sometimes take less than a minute if I could use an
advanced editor for that rather than having to use the very slow and laborious
basic editor.

Rather than dealing with the slowness of the basic editor interface, I'll use
other tools to download an aut record, edit it, then import it and overlay it. 
(Which, of course, also takes a while since we don't have a gateway export
interface for authorities, but that's another bug that needs to be written.)

I would VERY much appreciate an advanced editor being developed for authority
records.

Or is it an impossible dream to have just one editor, and you edit any kind of
record in it that you want--bibs, items, auts, patrons...?  (I would so love
that.)
