RE: Display of item barcodes

["Lois Smith" <SmithL@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have non-rotated subject headings, with all of the subject heading words keyworded.
I would be happy to discuss the pros and cons of this with you off-list.

I never saw any responses to your e-mail.  I too am interested in this, 
especially since one of my main tasks is authority control, it would very 
much help in weeding out the true problems.  Would you be willing to share 
any helpful information you received?

Thank you!
