Hi all,
I'm hoping someone on this list can help me with what I believe to be a
series of title changes. The publication in question is a newsletter
published by the Missouri Academy of Science. OCLC has three records
for this title: #12122948; #15344912; and #30541341. OCLC shows all of
these titles are current. I don't believe this is the case. When I
check the Missouri statewide catalog (mobius.missouri.edu) I find these
same three records, but they are all linked and only the #30541341 shows
as current. According to the Mobius catalog OCLC #122122948 changed
title to M.A.S. bulletin #15344912 ; the last issue published was v.6,
no. 4 (April 1978). Then M.A.S. bulletin #15344912 was published from
v.6, no. 5 June 1978 to v.18, no.4 (Apr. 1990) at which time the title
change to Missouri Academy of Science bulletin #30541341. The only item
with Conser authentication is the first item #12122948. My guess is
that the records in the Missouri catalog are correct and that the OCLC
records need closed out and updated; however, my information is just an
educated supposition because I do not have the actual items in hand
since this is not something we permanently retain in our library. I'm
hoping someone will volunteer to update these records.
All comments/help appreciated,
Cheryl
