There are four records in the OCLC CORC system http://corc.oclc.org/ for
the Wheaton College resource that Jim Weinhemier mentions; although two
have a different URL (at University of Pittsburgh) this (more or less) is
what the MARC and DC html views look like for the second one, although
there are also several other DC views...

These records say that they got into CORC from NetFirst, another OCLC
Internet cataloging project, so your guess is as good as mine as to who
created them....Old Thomas got added to the title, both ways, although it
is nice that in DC the subject heading source is clearly identified rather
than relying on one's knowledge that the 650 field in MARC is for the LCSH
heading. (thouugh I do think you can add |2 lcsh to the MARC 650 field)
