I've been updating my library's union list of periodicals on OCLC (which it needed very badly) and reconciling our holdings list to the union list.  Currently, our periodical holdings are not included in our online catalog, and the only method we use to list all of our holdings is a paper list that is simply posted on our website.  Over the years, certain title changes have been lost, forgotten, or possibly never noted on the paper list.  This has become painfully obvious since I've been working with the union list which does list our holdings under the preceding or succeeding titles.

My question is how much updating should be done to the paper list?  Should I add a separate entry for American Law Register & Review (1892-1897) whose preceding and succeeding titles were American Law Register?  Or could I just add a note to the entry for American Law Register that it was also know as the American Law Register & Review?  There have been several titles already that have had this problem, and I'm not even through the B's yet.

I should add that eventually our holdings will be added to the catalog, hopefully within the next year (hopefully being the key word!).  Should I just wait on updating the details of the list until then?

Any and all help, advice, ect. would be much appreciated.
