Hi!

Could anyone let me know the following:

1. I have created an authority for Subject headings and also created the
subfield 9 to link the authority record and the Marc record in the marc tag
650. I have also entered the records in the above authority type. While
adding the biblio records, it gives three dots in the field 650a. When
I search the records from the subject headings authority records, it does
not list the title of the heading in the summary. Please see the result of
the search.  Also I would like to know is 150a, the right field to enter the
authority record for Subject Heading? I have been entering the subject
headings there.

 Authority search results   Search on

Authority type SHL

Main entry   start by contains

Anywhere   contains start by

   *Results 1 to 1 of 1*

  Summary Used Get It!     Clear  0 times
2. Since the above authority did not work, I disabled the link and  directly
entered the subject Headings in the 650 a subfield of MARC, but when I see
the display on the opac it does display the subject headings but it is
identified as Relator links and not Subject. What cud be the problem? Please
see the search below.

3. I have also added additional authors for the above Record No.5, which are
not displayed on the opac. For auhtors also, I have created the authority
and added it through that authority.

4. If I want to use the Library of Congress Subject Headings, how do I link
through MARC?
