 When closing a serial bib record for a title change in the 300 field, how
 do you count partial volumes.  The 362 runs from v.13 no.4 to v.17 no.3.
 Are these partial volumes counted on both titles? >>

Elizabeth-
I found the following statement from CONSER Cataloging Manual: Contents
http://www.tlcdelivers.com/tlc/crs/manl1490.htm

11.1.3. Serials that are complete

If a serial has ceased publication or the record is continued by another
due to a change in title , etc., record the number of volumes published,
when this information is available. According to LCRI 12.5B2, record the
number of bibliographic rather than physical volumes. For example, if a
serial is numbered as vol. 12, no. 2-v. 14, no. 5, record as "3 v.",
regardless of how many physical pieces are involved.

Elizabeth,

You would give the volume and number as they actually occur on the last
piece.  The rules on this have changed recently, but the thrust is to
accept certain standard abbreviations, with other forms being entered as
they appear.  If I understand what you mean by "partial volumes", you are
viewing v. 17 as incomplete, because it does not include a "no. 4" and v.
14 incomplete because no. 1-3 are missing.  A quarterly publication can
change title within a volume.  Just say:

362 0   Vol. 13, no. 4-v. 17, no. 3.

Partial volumes in between that span are coded in the holdings record.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I would put 5 v. in 300 field for this title.
