You will need to add a field to the old record to show the new title in the 785 field and there are other changes to show the last date it was published under the old title.   This record is essentially closed.

You will then need to import the new record  for the new title from OCLC and it should have the link to the former title in the 780 field.   I don't do that much cataloging myself, so I usually wait for someone else to create it in OCLC, so that I can just copy it into my system.

Subject: [SERIALST] FW: Title change

I know I run the risk of looking stupid for asking a question with an obvious answer, but as I’m not getting anywhere searching for “help” on the company’s page & am beyond frustrated, here goes:

Our library uses Voyager (Ex Libris) for serials cataloging & acquisitions.  I’m trying to figure out what I need to do to show that a publication has undergone a title change so that it will show up in our catalog with the new title.  For example, Multimedia & Internet@Schools recently changed their name to Internet@Schools.  Do I need to import a new record from OCLC with the new title, or is there somewhere on the original cataloging record to note the new name?  Our cataloger said it’s something I need to do on my end, but I can’t even figure out where to begin.  I’ve got the same question about Bloomberg Business Week/Business Week.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone running Voyager could give me some suggestions!
