We also classify w/ LC and would keep titles together by giving them the same call no. But we have one location w/ a really small collection that’s alphabetical by title (we previously had another larger one, but it was changed to call no. order). Since we use Marc format, if there were a title change in that collection and, for some reason like space limitations, we wanted to not move it from its current spot, we could/would use 852 ‡l [that’s lower case L], which in our opac displays as Shelved as … and put the older title in the ‡l. We also do this if the shelving title is different from the 245 title (e.g. acronyms instead of spelled out).

We classify serials (using LC), so they are kept together by call number)

 

 

 

I was hoping to find out how others handle title changes?  Do you shelve the old title with the new or keep them separate(for those shelved by title)?
