Good morning!

I've been noticing serial records that include 246 12 for the distinctive
titles. Is this the preferred way to deal with distinctive titles in
serials?  It seems to me that if you want the distinctive title, you would
catalog each volume separately and add a 440.

Example: #39226063 Title: Sociology of crime, law, and deviance
This is a particularly difficult example, because the first two volumes do
not have distinctive titles, but the rest of the volumes do have distinctive
titles. I'm trying to decide which way to go ... whether  to catalog them on
the serial record or the monographic records, both of which, of course,
exist on OCLC.

Thanks kindly,
Julie Moore
