Use the record. It will make life a lot easier for anyone looking for these proceedings. It’s a lot easier to look at one record and one call number rather than 13 different ones…..

Subject: [SERIALST] Cataloging ACM conferences with multiple title changes

 

I am working with the Serials department in cataloging a set of ACM conference proceedings for which there are 13 separate records in WorldCat for the various title changes.  These are all “pcc” records, except for one.

 

There is also a single record in WorldCat for the conference proceedings – OCLC # 505744110 -  coded as successive entry, with multiple 246 fields for the title variations.

 

Some here feel we should use the above single record (created in 1984, with encoding level “L” Full-level input added from a batch process) rather than the 13 separate records.  There are 8 libraries with holdings attached to the record.  What would the arguments be for and against using this record? 

 

Thank you for your input!
