You have a serial/subserial situation.  I would continue to check in all
volumes on the check-in record for the International Journal of Cancer so
you can see clearly when a volume needs to be claimed.  I would also set
up separate check-in records for IJC: Predictive Oncology and IJC:
Radiation Oncology Investigations with notes on all three records.

There are other similar titles in the sciences, but of course I can't
think of them at the moment!

| 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| record available with a lot of outdated information.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!
