I was wondering about transcribing CAPITALS when doing one of the other records, but couldn't find it in RDA - I found it very frustrating as I kept going round in circles! Anne can you give us the reference for this option?
Thanks

I agree they should be related. I just didn't think of that at the time :)
Library of Congress Subject Headings is a proper noun so should be capitalised.
There's also the option in RDA (terrifying though it is for us) to transcribe capitals as they appear on the title page (but I think this is really meant for those who accept publisher data (because that's what ONIX does), and can't bring myself to capitalise at the random whim of a page designer (VIRTUAL REFERENCE DESK ahoy)!
