Over the last few years, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) has pursued the development of an expert system to assist catalogers with personal name authority work. This article reviews the project, from project and tool selection through knowledge engineering to evaluation, and discusses the reasons for deciding to redirect NLM's energies from development of an operational system to modification of the cataloging rules.
