Sorry to trouble everyone again, but I have another query. The London
Library is thinking of switching from an in-house subject index to
LCSH. We thought we might acquire LCSH authority records from Library
of Congress, but they only supply them in USMARC. We use UKMARC and
we thought this might present difficulties.
The 650 and 651's should be ok, but do they supply authority records
for 600's, 610's and 611's where the MARC formats will be different,
or are these not supplied.
Sorry to appear so ignorant, but we don't have much knowledge of
either USMARC or LCSH.
Have any other libraries been in a similar situation?
