Here's one our professors presented this week as an example
in our Technical Services Functions unit on serials:

1958-Jan./Feb.--Modern maturity
Mar./Apr. 2001-Jan./Feb. 2002--mm: modern maturity
Mar./Apr. 2002-Jan./Feb. 2003--AARP modern maturity
Mar./Apr. 2003-present (so far!)--AARP the magazine

Apparently, spring was a time of rebirth for this magazine
for a few years there!

Subject: [SERIALST] examples of tricky title histories

Do you have a "favorite" example of a magazine or journal with a
particularly convoluted title history? I would like to know what it is.
(I'd like some fresh examples for the serials course I teach at
SUNY-Albany.)

Although it will exclude some real doozies, please no series or
government publications. I want to challenge the students, but not drive
them crazy!

Please reply to me directly, and I'll summarize for the list.
