Lee makes a very good point about keeping up with Dewey's changes. But you should be
aware that the MARC records that you receive will be the way the work was cataloged
when it was first published, whatever Dewey edition that happened to fall under. You
will need to examine each one and possibly correct it to the current Dewey edition
standard.
And depending on how reliable your record vendor is, you will also need to examine
the subject headings for:
(1) inclusion of the 'juvenile literature' subheading (if you don't want it)
(2) duplication of a heading from Sears and LC and/or LC Childrens lists.
