Minor or major change in title? Maija Cravens 09 Jan 2006 21:06 UTC

Hello Serialists,

I have trouble interpreting Rule 16.2.4 category iii: The name of the
same corporate body is added or deleted anywhere in the title or the
representation of the name is changed (e.g., from full form to an
acronym or in the fullness of the hierarchy presented).

Title on the publication previously: Local 139 Wisconsin news.
Title on the publication now: Wisconsin news / |c Operating Engineers
Local Union no. 139 Wisconsin news is also the running title); OR,
interpreted differently: Wiscconsin Operating Engineers Local no. 139
news.

Would you consider this a minor change "in the fullness of the
hierarchy" or a major change requiring a new record?

Thanks,
Maija
