I am correct in observing that when an LC subject heading is changed, only
the fields coded LCSH with that heading are getting changed in the LC
catalog, and not also the fields coded as children's annotated card
headings, even when the heading used there would be the same? As an
example, the LCSH term Earth was recently changed to Earth (Planet). In
OCLC I am seeing numerous LC records that have had the 651_ 0 field
changed to the new form, but the fields coded 651 _1 are still just Earth.
There is no separate children's heading for this, so why aren't these
fields also being changed?
Thanks,
Adam
