About controlling headings that are not automatically system-controlled

Overview of how to control headings that are not automatically system-controlled in Connexion client.

When you control headings in bibliographic records, the system does not automatically control and insert a heading when the following is found:

  • An unqualified personal name match (contains only subfield a)
  • No exact match
  • Multiple records that match only partially

Instead, the Control Headings window opens with a list of candidate headings to help you manually select or build a fully controlled heading.

What does the Control Headings window do?

  • Gives you options to control a heading that the system does not control automatically.
  • Facilitates controlling headings when multiple exact normalized matches are found.
  • Associates a non-qualified personal name heading with an authority record.
  • Supports best practices for geographic subdivisions by:
    • Moving an incorrectly placed geographic subdivision to the correct position.
    • Identifying some geographic headings as invalid for use as subdivisions.
    • Restricting insertion of geographic subdivisions in headings not authorized for geographic subdivision.
  • Automatically adds a closing date, if needed and available, for a personal name heading tagged as a 100, 600, 700, or 800 when you correct a heading in the New Query box.

 Note: The Control Headings window does not validate the structure of headings.
