I am cross-posting this message to several lists; please forgive any
duplication.

I am trying to pull together the various incarnations of an American Bar
Association publication entitled LAWYERS' PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY UPDATE. This
is what I can glean from RLIN records and our own holdings:

1. Prior to 1985, this was issued as a serial publication, frequency unknown;
we do not have any copies of this in our library.

2. From 1985 to 1993, it became a loose-leaf monograph, again under the same
title.

3. In 1994 and 1995, paperbound editions were issued; again, no title change
except for the addition of the year to the end of the title.

It seems to me that this has become a serial publication again, to be issued
annually, and I would like to catalog it as such. My question: is there some
clever and creative way, yet within the structure of AACR2 and/or CONSER
rules, to pull in the loose-leaf publication without making a separate
monograph record for it? Given that the title has not changed, it seems
pointless and potentially confusing for patrons to create one record
referring to the existing (albeit outdated) monographic looseleaf notebooks,
and another for the new, annual serial.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.
