This paper was discussed at the CONSER Operations meeting in April and a

We will also be discussing other options for handling serial title
change information, and would welcome new solutions based on technology,
re-design of systems and/or displays, use of XML, etc. If any of you
have ideas or are experimenting with new ideas, please bring them to the
meeting and be prepared to share them in the discussion.
