Specifically, the reason the change is a minor change is: RDA 2.3.2.13.2. 

 

In general, consider the following to be minor changes in a title proper:

a)      a difference in the representation of a word, words, or other component (i.e., a character or group of characters) anywhere in the title such as

change in the form of the character

one spelling vs. another

abbreviated word or sign or symbol vs. spelled-out form

arabic numeral vs. roman numeral

number or date vs. spelled-out form

hyphenated word vs. unhyphenated word

one-word compound vs. two-word compound, whether hyphenated or not

acronym or initialism vs. full form

or

change in grammatical form (e.g., singular vs. plural)

 

The cataloger who made the decision (it wasn’t me….I was only the one who reported deletion of the later title record) believed that Ad is a shortened form of the word Advertising and thus a different representation of the same word.

The reason is that the existing record #1461285 was updated by a CONSER library to add AdAge to it in two 246 fields, so the record #1005672300 was not needed.  The latest rules for title changes often do not require a new record.  This was considered a minor title change by the CONSER librarian who updated the record.

 

 

 

I’m not a cataloger.  I asked this question already, but no one answered.

 

Why would they delete OCLC# 1005672300?  I’ve never seen this before. 

 

Thanks in advance for your response.

It looks like OCLC #1005672300 is headed for a fall:

 

936 RECORD REPORTED FOR DELETION -- USE #1461285

I don’t know if you’re referring to cataloging, receipt, shelving, etc., but this is a minor title change and has already been accounted for in the CONSER record:
