I'm a bit confused about all this (as, no doubt, are many others).

Is the new title (#244292759) the same "India today international" and the same "North American special ed." as the title it links back to (#48896378)?  If so, are you creating a new record because a) the numbering [mostly] restarted, or b) because the place of publication changed back to that of the prior title minus one - causing confusion with the 130 qualifier?

My understanding is that we would no longer create a new record just because the numbering restarted, if no other major changes occurred with the title.

India Today has again restarted its volume numbering, this time in the
middle of a volume.  I wrote to them in July & received a non-answer,
again in September and didn't hear from them, and again last week and
finally received a reply with a reason, albeit a non-satisfactory one:
it was "due to a change in company name."  Anyway, here's the volume and
issue numbering:

OCLC #40894687  22:12 (1997 Jun 16) - 26:53 (2001 Dec 31)

OCLC #48896378  1:1 (2002 Jan 7) - 7:26 (2008 Jun 30)

The above record has not been closed out, but a new one has been put in:

OCLC #244292759  1:27 (2008 Jul 7) -

Have fun!!
