The CONSER manual is part of Cataloger's Desktop, which is very helpful if you have access to it. There is also some documentation on the CONSER web site: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/.

Do you have access to the Cataloger's Desktop (online subscription for cataloging info)? I believe the Conser Cataloging Manual is a part of that subscription now. When I used to do Serials, I used a print version of Conser often to help me with serials cataloging questions. I worked in a small library where there weren't other experience serials people to help me so I found the manual and online discussion groups to be valuable.

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!
