Display-see-References {LCAO-5}

“See” references link a non-standardised term to the appropriate standardised one.

A general query will display all recorded “See” references on the system. A specific query will display all the records pertaining to the input criteria as well as the authority tag and subfield to which the authority term has been linked.

The system will automatically refer to the “See” references when a subject search is carried out, both under the Public Query option and under the Library Staff Query option.

In these cases the search will logically be handled as an “OR” search; firstly with the term that was entered as part of the query, and secondly with the replacement term as specified under this option.  (This implies that, if a number of words were entered in a query, a number of “OR” searches could result).

The person who executed the query will not be informed that a non-standardised form was used; the standardised form will merely be printed in brackets as part of the heading of the result of the search.

“See” references are maintained under option {LCAO-4} and can be queried using this option.
