    Abstract
    Weaknesses within the system of LCSH are widely expected to be bypassed by OPACs as they open other subject access routes into collections. How LCSH perform under OPAC retrieval capabilities in direct comparison to title field subject searching is studies heuristically and quantitatively. Observed patterns of LCSH function are discussed, and conclusions about search strategy are offered
