Union catallog management

[the browns <vbpaula@erols.com>]

I am looking for suggestions for an efficient model for blending or
replacing the old and newly possible practices for efficient and
effective cataloging management.
Is marking up the old Sears heading book  still a recommended practice
when cataloging is done in several locations? Is there a good reviewed
list of cataloging tools like Precision One with designations as to
whether they use Sears or LC headings, particuliarly for children? If
catalogers checked our own union catalog for subject headings by year of
acquisition would not that be as effective a way to check editing?
TIA
