Do I need to create a subject authority record for entities outside Canada?
Brief subject authority records are created if the heading is not in LCSH. Thus, for example, there is no need for an authority record for San Juan Islands (Wash.) which is in LCSH, but an authority record is needed for Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park (Philippines) which has been used in LAC cataloguing but is not in LCSH. Equivalent headings in RVM are either searched for in that database or requested from Universit Laval if not found there.
