First of all, it’s a series title. I would consider it a major change. Searching Moon handbooks won’t lead you to Moon Havana until someone creates an authority with a “see also” note. “Digging around in the RDA toolkit” LOL. Hope you have a Bulldozer….

Hello all,

 

I am cataloging Moon Havana.  As you may know, Moon handbooks recently began publishing their books as “Moon Havana” instead of Moon handbooks. Havana”.  This seems to me to be a minor title change, and the other books in the series seem to follow this. For example, Moon Utah shows a first edition date of 1988 and an 11^th edition date of 2015.  However, the OCLC record for Moon Handbooks. Havana has it beginning with the second edition in 2003, while Moon Havana states it is a 1^st edition published in 2015.  I dug around the RDA toolkit for a while and I am wondering if this counts as a major change in “scope”, which would require a new OCLC record, even though none of the other Moon handbooks are title changes.  Or, should I just put a 515 note in the old record and call it a day.

 

I hope this makes sense, thanks in advance to any assistance!
