Here are two links from the HSOCLC Users' Group site that discuss MeSH
authority control practice.

Subject: MeSH Subjects

Hello,
 
After a recent III training, a problem presented itself and I'm curious
about procedures at other health science libraries. 
 
Being new, I'm finally ready to address authority control with our
catalog.  I was told that I cannot get MeSH subject headings from OCLC.
I've only ever used OCLC for name and subject headings and if I can't
use this, what are my options?  Is there a way to connect with NLM? 
 
I'm not even sure authority work has ever been done here so I'm at a
loss with where to start.  That said, it was suggested that I contact
this list for its collective knowledge.    
 
 
Thank you,
 
Arthur
