> A few things users should be particularly aware of are "Known

> Problems" for Controlling

> [http://www.oclc.org/connexion/support/client_known_problems.htm#contr

> ollingheadings] and situations where a controlled heading does not

> automatically change to the most current authorized version.  The

> Known Problems present workarounds when available.  It is unusal for

> headings which are controlled to not automatically update when the

> authorized heading is changed but there are legitimate reasons for

> this happening.  If you encounter such a situation, please report it.

> There is a process which enables the re-processing of headings when a

> linked heading does not reflect the established form.  Users can

> report situations of this type to bibchange at oclc.org  (or via the

> Report Error function under the Action Menu in Connexion while viewing

> a bibliographic record).  When reporting these cases, please include

> the text of the heading that was not updated and a bibliographic

> record number that contains the non-updated heading.
