I admit it… I missed this one. Way back in 2007 this subject heading was changed.
Prior to 2007 when you searched for Aliens (Extraterrestrial beings) the SH said SEE Life on other planets. Now, however it says SEE Extraterrestrial beings with a SEE ALSO for Life on other planets. Since this is an often used heading, I wanted to ensure that everyone knows about the updated, more specific heading.
