About controlling headings that are not automatically system-controlled
Overview of how to control headings that are not automatically system-controlled in Connexion client.
When you control headings in bibliographic records, the system does not automatically control and insert a heading when the following is found:
- An unqualified personal name match (contains only subfield a)
- No exact match
- Multiple records that match only partially
Instead, the Control Headings window opens with a list of candidate headings to help you manually select or build a fully controlled heading.
What does the Control Headings window do?
- Gives you options to control a heading that the system does not control automatically.
- Facilitates controlling headings when multiple exact normalized matches are found.
- Associates a non-qualified personal name heading with an authority record.
- Supports best practices for geographic subdivisions by:
- Moving an incorrectly placed geographic subdivision to the correct position.
- Identifying some geographic headings as invalid for use as subdivisions.
- Restricting insertion of geographic subdivisions in headings not authorized for geographic subdivision.
- Automatically adds a closing date, if needed and available, for a personal name heading tagged as a 100, 600, 700, or 800 when you correct a heading in the New Query box.
Note: The Control Headings window does not validate the structure of headings.
