[Evergreen-catalogers] How do you validate subject headings with subdivisions?

[Brueck, Vicki]

Jane Sandberg,

The Library of Congress has not created an authority record for "American newspapers $vDatabases."  So your only options are to live with only having "American newspapers" authorized or create a local authority record for "American newspapers $vDatabases."  We live with only the subfield a being authorized.  If the Library of Congress had created an authority record for the whole string we would import that authority record.

Thanks,
Vicki

If I want to authorize the heading:

650_0 $aAmerican newspapers $vDatabases.

I can right click and find the authority record for American newspapers just fine.  However, there isn't an authority record for American newspapers -- Databases.  If I just add the $0 related to the American newspapers authority record and click "Validate", it turns red. :-(

How do folks approach this in your workflow?  Do you add a new authority record for "American newspapers -- Databases"?  Just live with the $a being authorized?

Thanks in advance for your help!

   -Jane
