When I click on the "S" of the [H R B L D S] in a hierarchy view of
call numbers, I get to a "LC Class/Subject Correlations Search: All
Records" page showing call numbers with associated subject headings,
as expected. *However*: when I click on the call number on that
results page, I'm linked to another "LC Class/Subject Correlations
Search: All Records" page with a list of subject headings beginning
with the same call number letter but otherwise unrelated to it. A
spot-check suggests this is happening with *all* LC call numbers.
E.g.:
1) On hierarchy view page:
Q101 [Science] Congresses [H R B L D S]
2) Click on [S] and get LC Class/Subject Correlations Search: All Records page:
Q101 [B L D C]
Science--Congresses.
...
3) A click on Q101 then yields LC Class/Subject Correlations Search:
All Records page:
Q??al-R?m (Lebanon)--History. [L D]
Qaanaaq (Greenland)--Climate. [L D]
...
This simply does not seem logical. I can't remember seeing this
behaviour before, but alas cannot recall what the call number links
*used* to point to ... I would have thought back to the hierarchy
view, vel sim.
