title: Loading and Using 2004 MeSH in MARC Format 
ispublished: pub
subjects: aleph
divisions: naaug
abstract: This presentation will be about how we loaded the full 2004 MeSH file (including subdivision records) in ALEPH, the indexing decisions we made, and the work involved in updating our local MeSH authority file and associated bibliographic records. Topics to be covered include: reviewing obsolete MeSH authorities, changed MeSH authorities, partial match MeSH Headings, and unmatched MeSH Headings (including those coded as 600s and 610s). I will also cover how we dealt with problems first created in 1999 when NLM changed many of its subdivision practices. Finally, ways of validating MeSH headings and subdivisions during cataloguing will be reviewed.

Audience: Cataloguers and those responsible for record loading and indexing tables
