Kristen,

CONSER made a change to the LCRI 21.3B in March 2010. A separate record is not needed if the only change is from CD-ROM to DVD.

The 300 field should have "computer optical disc" (or an equally general term for the specific material designation) and a 500 note can be added that notes the change from CD-ROM to DVD-ROM.

500 On CD-ROMs, ???-2008 ed.; on DVD-ROMs, 2009 ed.-

Thanks,
-Shana

Hello all,
The annual cumulation of L'osservatore romano was available on CD until the 2009 edition. Now it is only available on DVD (2009 edition, 2010 edition). The OCLC record for the CD-ROM version is 48995266. Since I am not a cataloger, how do I request that someone catalog the DVD version? According to revised LCRI 21.3B from May 2003, a new record should be made if the change in physical medium is from CD to DVD.

Thanks,
Kristen
