Subject: [NGC4LIB] Cross-Walk - LC Subject Headings to MeSH Headings

We are interested in identifying one or more cross-walks for conversion of LC Subject Headings to MeSH subject headings and vice versa. Also, if you have used such a cross-walk, what has been your experience with it?

Thanks for your help! kst
