    Abstract
    Recent papers have called attention to discrepancies in the assignment of LCSH. While philosophical arguments can be made that subject analysis, if not a logical impossibility, at least is point-of-view dependent, subject headings continue to be assigned and continue to be useful. The hypothesis advanced in the present project is that to a considerable degree there is a clear-cut right and wrong to LCSH subject heading assignment. To test the hypothesis, it was postulated that the assignment of a subject heading is correct if it is supported by textual warrant (at least 20% of the book being cataloged is on the topic) and is constructed in accordance with the LoC Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings. A sample of 100 books on scientific subjects was used to test the hypothesis

    Abstract
    Outlines the factors upon which priorities for and strategies in retrospective conversion depend. Discusses advantages and limitations of the following priorities: first convert records for serials, either current or all serials; currently circulating monographs; by date of publication; starting with the most recent publications; materials in one branch of a library with descipline-specific branches before going on to records in other branches; specific classification ranges; materials intended for off-site storage; materials for which special funding is received; or convert materials from A-Z, working either from the public catalogue or the shelflist records
