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
