One of the central ideas behind authority files is that they can help
librarians keep their databases organized and ensure that all books about the
same subject are described with the same subject headings. In order to keep the
authority file useful, headings must be updated to match current linguistic
usage (for example, the Library of Congress changed the subject "Cookery" to
"Cooking" since no one would ever search for the former). Unfortunately, Koha
will not automatically update bibliographic records using a given authority.
There should be a flip_heading.pl utility that converts obsolete headings in
bibliographic records to the current preferred form (as specified by the
authority record).
