I am trying to use: 651 0 Earth $v Remote-sensing maps. But in OCLC Connexion, the control headings feature doesn't work on it, and the closest I find in the authority file via OCLC is: 651 0 Earth $x Remote-sensing images. The LC authority file directly shows as an authorized heading: 651 0 Earth $v Remote-sensing images. And it looks as though LC has used Earth -- Remote-sensing maps, but it's not shown as authorized. Guidance will be appreciated. Nancy A.
