Subject: Quebec dans le monde (Association) publications: need help interpreting DLC & NLC name authority decisions and whether or not related bib record(s) constitutes title change Hello - I'm hoping someone can help interpret these two name authority records so that I can use the correct name heading for our local bib and authority records. We have several publications produced by the organization: Québec dans le monde. When I search this name in the OCLC name authority file, I retrieve this record .... 010 no 89006976 040 DLC-S ßc DLC-S ßd DLC-S 005 19901228174623.1 110 2 Alliance Champlain 410 2 Québec dans le monde (Association) 670 Le Québec à votre portée, 1988-1989: $b t.p. (Alliance Champlain; Sainte-Foy (Québec)) 670 NLC 3/22/89 $b (Alliance Champlain, établie 1981; Québec dans le monde (Association), variant name) We've been using the heading "Alliance Champlain" on our records for several years -- even though it struck me today that nowhere on the piece is this name in evidence. The name that is prominent -- and has been prominent on the volumes that we have since the mid 1990's is the x-ref (410): Québec dans le monde. So .... I decided to start looking for an authority record in Canadiana -- the NLC-BNC CD product that we have ... and I found the following authority record for Alliance Champlain. Note: the "see also" reference in the 510, preceded by control subfield w. and the 665 that indicates the name change in Nov. 1988.

Nom changé 18 nov. 1988 à Québec dans le monde (Association). 670: $a'Association québécoise de diffusion internationale du Français'. 670: $aConvergences (Sainte-Foy, Québec). I'm confused because I was unable to find a name authority record for the later heading, Québec dans le monde (Association) -- not in OCLC and not in the Canadiana discs (the last update we have is Jan. 2002). However, if I look in web Amicus and /or in OCLC, I can find several bib records that use the later/current heading. Should the OCLC name authority files reflect this change? The problem multiplies when I look at bib records in OCLC and Amicus. I was preparing to do a title change in OCLC for this record (because the words "Répertoire descriptif" (see 245) are no longer anywhere on the latest volume) .... The t.p. title for the 2002-2003 vol. eliminates "Répertoire descriptif" from the t.p. ... so the "new" title has become the $p data.

Also, the Amicus record changes the 245 field by moving $p data (from above) in $a (below) which eliminates the question of the later issue of this serial being a title change.
