Dear all,

Does anyone monitor new authority headings (all types) created?  If so, how
do you identify new headings created in a given time period?  Custom
reports??

At this moment, there is no easy way to identify those new headings.   Going
through the entire list of authority headings is very labour intensive work. 
I would like to manage this area a little more, after found quite a few
duplicate, unused, and even invalid/outdated headings.  

I would also like to see a more advanced method of global change of
headings, for example: 

$aHong Kong to $aHong Kong (China) [only those found in subfield $a], or 
$zHong Kong to $zChina $zHong Kong [only those found in subfield $z and
split into multiple subfield $z], or
$xPictorial works to $vPictorial works [only those found with subfield $x]

This will eliminate the need to change affected headings individually.

Looking forward to hear your comments ...

Kind regards,

Iming
