Serialsters,
I have in hand a 6-disc set that contains in .jpeg format all the issues published so far (1947-2005) of The fare box : a monthly news-letter for transportation token collectors (OCLC #13323392). How should a retrospective manifestation like this be cataloged? Should I just catalog it as an electronic version of the original journal? Or, should I catalog it as I would catalog a microfilm, with the body of the description for the original and a 533 field for information about the reproduction? Or, should I describe this as 300 $a 6 CD-ROMs, and describe the original in a note?

Could someone point me the correct rule?
Maija
