I'm cataloging the journal Communication Theory for our library.   This
(vol. 16, no.1 (Feb. 2006)),  is our first issue: so I've nothing else
to look at aside from this and what is in OCLC.   I've found a lovely
record that appears to match what I have in hand.

Only this record (OCLC 21463248)  was closed in July of this year with a
"dead" date of 1997. The 2nd 362 reads: 362 1,_ Ceased with: v. 7, no. 4
(Nov. 1997)?

  I'm guessing this was a mistake.   I've looked at this record in a few
other libraries' catalogs via Worldcat and it appears mainly to be open
& being received on.    Can anyone verify?

I'm not sure why one would be close out a record unless one was
absolutely sure.    And given the question mark -- I'm assuming there
was some uncertainty.    But perhaps it was simply the date that was in
question at the time.  Since I have no earlier issues, I can't tell
whether it did close & was later re-started by Blackwell.

I'm going to download & re-open the record to use it in my catalog.  I
was hoping that a cataloger at another library (perhaps a CONSER
library?) with a full run might want to take a glance at it & perhaps
open it back up.

If I'm completely mis-reading the situation, and there is a better
record out there, please do let me know.

Thanks
Patricia
