My cataloguers are interested in searching subject subdivisions (like 650 $x). Stefano
Hi, Below a fragment from a discussion on authority indexing on the dev list. As a developer, I would like to get some specific librarian feedback on this list.
Another thought to add to the discussion: If we need the difference between searching through main headings, all subfields and main headings $a only, why do we not present these four identical options in opac and staff? It seems overkill to me, but please speak up if you need one of the two !
Do you (your library) make good use of searching authorities in staff client? There are three searches there. Note that the first one ("Search authorities") only looks in heading $a subfields. Do you need the difference when searching authorities between $a only or all subfields? Would you need the other one: headings, all subfields?
Hope I am being clear enough ..
Thanks, Marcel

Stefano, My cataloguers are interested in searching subject subdivisions (like 650
$x).
Do they ever *not* want to search subdivisions? So, is there any situation when they would want to search 150$a but not 150$x?

Hi, Jared: I mean 150$x, of course. In my opinion, it can be useful for the staff to search 150$a and 150's subdivisions at the same time and independently as well. Stefano On 13/lug/2012, at 16.10, Jared Camins-Esakov wrote:
