Hi Jason,

This is a major title change.  If there is a change in the first 5 words, then it is a title change.  There are some exceptions, but this is a major change.  We would create a new record for the new title.  For holding information, we would list as v.XX (2015)+ in our catalog.

Subject: [SERIALST] Journal Title Changes

 

Hi,

 

I am new to serials, and curious about title changes.  For example, we subscribe to Home Healthcare Nurse (holdings are v. 12(2) 1994 - Present).  It has changed it's name to Home Healthcare Now.

 

We keep an access database of all current, discontinued, and weeded journal titles.  Is there a consensus and how to treat journal title changes?  Do you tend to make a new record for it in your database and keep a separate Home Healthcare Nurse record?

 

When listing holdings for Home Healthcare Now, would you say 12(2) 1994 - Present, or would you say the holdings are 2015-Present?

 

Thanks for all your help!
