Improvements to Updated Bib Headings report using AACP
When AACP is turned on and we've loaded new / changed authorities, there are some bib records impacted by the authorities' headings which do not get automatically updated and require staff edits. Sometimes it is terminal punctuation that needs to be added for certain entries perhaps tied to a new closed death date; or sometimes it's an indicator in a bib MARC field that should get added because it's in the authority record that's new or changed. We think just a little bit of development here would help save staff time.

When AACP (automatic authority control processing) is turned on and authority records are uploaded with changes, sometimes bib records in Sierra do not get automatically updated. There may be an entry in the Updated Bibliographic Headings report but the bib or bibs themselves need to be manually edited by staff.
A small amount of Sierra development could fix this to save staff time.
For example, when a series heading in a bib gets changed from 830 to 800, Sierra does not insert the first indicator of 1 in the 800 field even though the referencing authority record has that indicator. We would love to see a bit more work for AACP.
