Good
morning
I made the posting
below to the Describe Forum last week, but haven't had any reponses so
far. I wonder if anyone on the listserv can shed some light on this for
me?
Can I ask what libraries are doing in
their local catalogues, with regard
to the presentation of LC Subject Headings, and LC Subject Headings for
Children?
Many of the good quality, detailed records that we
download from Te Puna, OCLC, Libraries Australia etc., often contain both LCSH
and LCSH for Children in the records
($650_0 and $650_1). The way they present in our catalogue can be pretty
confusing, though (even for staff, let alone customers). SirsiDynix haven't been able to
answer my question about 'blocking' the $650_1 records from displaying in
Horizon 7.5.
What do other libraries
do? Are they deleting the tags? Leaving them in and not
worrying about the subject searches? Or do you have a way of adjusting
what your system presents to the searcher?
Any pointers would be MUCH
appreciated!
:-) Fiona
