Hi Jason,
For title changes, we make a new bibliographic record and add a continuation note to both the new and old records (fields 780 and 785, I believe), so if someone
is searching the old title or the new, they will both cross reference.
Also, as far as holdings, we make them reflect the title change. So in this case, for Home Healthcare Nurse it would be 12(2) 1994 – 2014. And for the new title,
the holdings would begin with 2015 – present. When someone is using a citation to find a 2015 article, it will have the new title (hopefully), and that is what the patron will be searching, so they would need to see the holdings to this particular title.
I hope this helps.
Daisy

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!
