      • When enabled, the system checks for uncontrolled headings present in a bibliographic record and tries to control the headings against the appropriate authority files and then attempts to add equivalent subject headings for the controlled headings if the record contains controlled RVM, AAT, LCSH, or MeSH headings. If equivalent subject headings are found, they are controlled to their respective authority file.
      • When disabled, the system only checks for uncontrolled headings present in a bibliographic record and tries to control the headings against the appropriate authority files.

         Note: Although the system attempts to control all headings when you add or replace a bibliographic record, it will only attempt to add equivalent subject headings when you select Control All Headings from the Record menu in the bibliographic record.
