Well, normally, *books* have authors and for things like CDs and DVDs most library systems consider the various creative people involved in Music/TV/Movies (performers / song writers / actors / directors / screen writers / etc.) as ‘authors’, and so would use the ‘Author’ field of a library cataloging system to hold the names of such people. I am not sure what you mean by “authorities”.
Thank you for your answer!
Let me give you an example.
I am adding the book “No title” and its author “Cartographer”
then I add the book “No title 2” with the same author “Cartographer”
Because I have all ready added the author from the first book, It would be great if I could find this author from a list and add it again, without needing to type it.
This way could save the librarian from having a lot of records for the same author.

The only thing I can suggest it turning on history and form memory in firefox. Putting in *all* authors in the database in the author field as a dropdown could become combersome once the collection started to fill up with a large collection of items from a large number of authors.
