International Journal of Cancer - Multiple titles/parts Joanne Doucette 23 May 2000 01:32 UTC

Has anyone on the list dealt with cataloging this title or something
similar?  We started to receive the International Journal of Cancer this
year when it absorbed Radiation Oncology Investigations.  The journal
currently consists of three titles published simultaneously: International
Journal of Cancer; International Journal of Cancer: Predictive Oncology;
International Journal of Cancer: Radiation Oncology Investigations.  All
three titles have the same ISSN number.  Apparently, in 2000, the first
title will have Vols. 85-88 (6 issues per volume), the second title will
have Vol. 89 (6 issues) and the third will have Vol. 90 (6 issues).

I am at a loss on how to approach this title.  There is one old OCLC
record available with a lot of outdated information.  I don't know how my
serials check-in module (DRA) would handle volume changes back and forth
between the three titles.  My only thought was to create three separate
records but the volume enumeration will be very confusing (look like
missing volumes).

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Joanne
