Cecil, et. al.,
When you click on the editing gadget I would like it to default to MAIN ENTRY and STARTS WITH. Not main entry $a only. The results should also show the see from references so that you don't use an (unfortunately) old heading that should have been changed.
Would it be fair to say what I'm seeing is a growing consensus that "Main entry ($a only)" isn't used, and a default of "Main entry" would make sense?
Public services staff and opac users don't really use authorities but they would use a browse list of subjects, authors and series, with all the appropriate cross references showing and searchable.
Would you say that it would be more useful to default to "Main entry" or "All headings" on the OPAC side? Regards, Jared -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C & P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcamins@cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/
