Joan Rosen on 2/27/97 asked about switching or not to LC subject heading. I am now using LC subject headings in all my current cataloging. Both my library system's automated catalog and our state's main database (ILLINET) uses LC subject headings. Anything I send to our library system is put in LC automatically anyway. I was lucky to get a copy of LC subject headings while at the Library of Congress (they have a gift book section where duplicates are available--or were a couple of years ago). I have not had the time to go back and do any retroconversion from Sears headings. And I doubt if there is time or money to do so in the future. I tell my students that we are in a period of transition--I still have a card catalog because there's only one PAC catalog with our library system's holdings on three CD-ROMs. So, they know to look in both places for the time being.
