Greetings-

I started working on this title change and then saw this message. 

Yes, it is a title change - the publisher is intentionally going back to the old title.   

From p. 6 of the June 2010 issue "We've decided to go by Campaigns & Elections, the name you've all known since Issue 1, Volume 1, was printed in 1980."

The separate records will remain particularly since Politics (Plainsboro, N.J.) was assigned an new ISSN. 

I hope this helps,

Jennifer

Subject: [SERIALST] Question to CONSER members re Campaigns & Elections

                Greetings,

                                Could somebody please take a look at OCLC #641211240, #190733370, #5958726 and predict what CONSER is going to do with these? Bless the first one or update the last one and delete the first two? Even though both are major changes, I’ve seen situations like this in OCLC before, where the publication went back to its original title, and CONSER collapsed all the records into one (a very sensible thing to do, IMHO – but isn’t it kinda against the rules? Or am I missing something?).

                                Many thanks.
