AI overview
The Virtual International Authority File is a service that brings together multiple name authority files—databases that standardize how names of people, places, and organizations are recorded—into one unified system. This matters because librarians and researchers can use a single tool to find consistent name information across different libraries and institutions worldwide, rather than having to search through separate databases.
