Title compaction a possibility? Susan Moore 18 May 2007 15:43 UTC

I posted this question in a early version at the beginning of May and
got no responses. As this is not a widely held title, I'm not too
surprised. I would like some confirmation that what I'm planning to do
in my local catalog is in line with current practice. The situation is:

The title was MCAT premier program from 1997-2006 (OCLC #35571808).

The 2007 ed. (OCLC #70843276) had the title: New MCAT premier program.

The 2007-2008 ed. (OCLC #86119133) has the title MCAT premier program.

I believe I can compress this into one record with a note saying the
2007 ed. had a variant title given my reading of the rules. Do others
concur?
