What happened here was that they stopped issuing "Daily Variety", and some of the content that used to be published there is now in the weekly publication "Variety".  The latter now has more special issues than it used to.  In essence, the daily was absorbed by the weekly, although they are using the ISSN and issue numbering of the daily on the new weekly issues.  The new frequency is rather interesting:  weekly except one week in July, one week in Nov., and two weeks in Dec., plus 40 (!) special issues per year.

 

The CONSER records have been updated with these changes.

Hi All,

Some of you may already know this but for those of you who don’t…

The March 26, 2013 issue of Variety was a “re-launch” by the publisher.

Besides the new look it also has a new numbering – it went from volume number 430 to volume number 319. (This number is actually in line with the Daily Variety).

When I received this issue I wasn’t sure what was going on. I wrote to my EBSCO rep and the numbering change has been confirmed by the publisher (see below)

Thanks.

Wilma
