        Yes, when a print journal is continued only in electronic form,
the record for the print should be closed with the last issue available in
that form.  In such cases, the e-version requires a separate record.
Often there is a holdings overlap that must be mentioned in a note; see
example (LITA newsletter) in Conser Cataloging Manual, Module 31.17:

Sarah -- Per LCRI 21.3B, you would create a new record (and close out the
old) when a serial title changes format.  CONSER Cataloging Manual 31.17
(Linking relationships) discusses format changes from print to online.
If you don't have the CCM or Cataloger's Desktop, Module 31 is available
online at http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/module31.html

Hope this helps.
