First, I'd like to say I appreciate the finer grain control the new version has as far as creating authorities goes.
But. . . and this is a problem I had in earlier versions as well - I still can't get my see references to display properly. When you search on the correct term the references to incorrect forms are displayed. for example: Topical Term: World War, 1914-1918 used for/see from: WW I used for/see from: World War I But that's not very useful if someone is searching on the incorrect form. In fact, if you search on the incorrect form in authorities it displays what is intended as a see reference as if it were an authorized heading, and does not list the reference to the authorized version. I've resorted to adding [Not Used] to the incorrect form 1XX field. Example: Topical Term: WW I [Not Used] You have to click on Details see what heading is authorized, and then it displays in tiny type above the authority record, with no explanation. Here's the 260 for this heading: 260 ## - COMPLEX SEE REFERENCE--SUBJECT a Heading referred to World War, 1914-1918 5 Institution code UKLoVW Note: I have entered a $0 with the record number for the correct heading, set it to display in the MARC framework, but it still doesn't display unless you are actually editing the authority record. I have gotten lost in the maze of MARC format for authorities and don't know which way is up anymore. I think I've got the 008 for the see references set correctly. Tried everything I could think of, but it still isn't working. Has anyone gotten see references to work? And if so, could you show me what you did? -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.
