O Holy Night, O HOCLC-ly Joy, thanks for the gifts Ralph!
at http://orlabs.oclc.org/FAST/autosuggest.html
I did this:
1. I entered cross reference Œwarming, global¹ and it retrieved 1,247 hits;
I checked the first title (Global warming by Cynthia Bily, 2006), its OCLC
record had ŒGlobal warming¹ as subject. So why did warming, global retrieve
it?
2. I entered Œglobal warming¹ and got 13,243 hits, all dandy. When I I
clicked into the record, the ŒMore like this¹ had under subjects ŒGlobal
warming¹ listed twice, both retrieving 13,326 hits
3. is there anything in the process that I missed also the indication of the
relationship between main heading ŒGlobal warming¹ and cross reference
ŒWarming, global?
