</SPAN><FONT COLOR="#1F497D"><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Yes, IRs are excluded since, as Dorothy notes, you can’t control headings in an IR. Ryan is correct that LCGFT is the only set of genre terms that is affected. GSFAD is available in MARC and we make them available in the Terminologies Service but those files are not used in controlling.<BR>

</SPAN><FONT COLOR="#1F497D"><FONT SIZE="4"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I’m often skeptical of OCLC automated quality control “improvements”! I suspect that IRs will get left out of the mix though, as they are already excluded from OCLC controlled headings.<BR>
As for genre headings, probably the only ones that OCLC could control would be ones that had MARC authority records. I believe those are still limited to GSAFD headings which might contain the potential chaos.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'><FONT COLOR="#993366"><FONT FACE="Georgia, Times New Roman">Coming down the pike. If I understand correctly, OCLC is developing software to do additional authority control in batch mode (that is, not as part of the cataloging process, but later). 8xx and 655 fields will be now be controlled through that process, in addition to other fields that are currently controlled by Connexion. I don't know if they will try to control subdivisions in 655's, but given the laissez-faire attitude of the rbms controlled vocabularies toward subdivision practice, I'd hate to have changes made through controlling that are perfectly legitimate under the particular thesaurus' principles for use.<BR>
