This was the first one that I had seen, and I immediately went to check
a couple of my other original records for EBSCO databases (we did a big
switch over of providers recently) and didn't see that any others had
been merged. I thought that if there was a project to merge records that
it would have just started and be done alphabetically so I decided to
put the question to those in the know on the list.  I've just now
checked a few more of the records for our databases, and it does indeed
seem as though this is an isolated incident.

Thanks to all for the responses,

Chris
