We are new to the process, but it seems that the 2-2) Report Type: Form-Genre PROFILE SECTION 3-12 Driven by incorrect matching of 655 tags usually the items are not genre headings but official 650 headings. I just double checked for example Adventure films to find the LCSH heading and then all those could be changed in a global update. Of course there are many repeating genre clumps so it requires several updates but there is more repetition in this area than others. REPORT FINDINGS: .b17643028 655 0 $aAdventure films.

Has anyone developed/discovered any techniques to speed up cleanup for the quarterly authority updates from BSLW? We get a list of 6,000 changed headings each quarter that have to be reviewed after loading the changed MARC authority records. Our III system replaces the changed authority records but we have to change the headings in bib records manually. There's no way to automate the process (Global Update for individual headings helps a little), but is there a way to speed up the review of headings in the reports? The vast majority of headings don't require updates, as we know, but I would like a way to quickly zero in on those that do, like the headings where a death date is added. It's frustrating to have to review 6,000 headings when only 150 bib. records need changing. In other words, I am looking for a way to quickly identify the few changed authorities that also have headings in our bib. records that need to be changed. I refer to the updates as quarterly, but others may get them more or less frequently. -- Ted Waller Carlyle Campbell Library Meredith College Raleigh, N.C.
