Carol -- Per the CONSER Cataloging Manual 6.1.7d:

Occasionally, when the title of a serial changes, the earlier title is
included on the piece with the new title to alert readers to the fact
that
this is the same serial. This also occurs when one serial absorbs
another
and the publisher wishes the reader to be aware of this fact.  After a
period of time, the earlier title is usually dropped.  For this reason,
omit the earlier or absorbed title from the title proper (LCRI 12.1B1),
but record it in linking entry field 780.

On piece:
  International gas report, incorporating World gas report
In record:
  245 00        International gas report.
  780 05        $t World gas report {2nd ind. 5 = Absorbed:}

So not a reason to create new records.  Links between the records should
be added to describe the absorption.  Hope this helps.  --Steve
