Greetings Collective Wisdom,

I've been trying out the Validate Headings function and consistently notice a big discrepancy between how many LC authorities will download versus how many valid headings are in my file of bibs. For example, in a file I just tested, MarcEdit downloaded 15 LC authorities, but the report states that 21 1xx, 67 6xx, and 15 7xx headings are found. I'm wondering why 103 authorities aren't downloaded. As a workaround, I use "Embed URIs when possible" and extract the LCCNs. After de-duping, I found 82 unique authorities that I batch downloaded through Connexion. I'm also wondering about the difference of 103 versus 82. Any insight is much appreciated!

Thank you,
Mariko Kershaw
