Vicki:
  According to AACR2R, 21.2A1:

 "... However, in general do not consider a title proper to have changed
if:
 a) the change is in the representation of a word or words (e.g.
abbreviated word or symbol vs. spelled out form, singular vs. plural form,
one spelling vs. another)"

  That seems to say it pretty clear to me: do not consider it as a title
change.

I have a question about something I ran across today.  There is a serial
with the title: From nine to five      It has since started calling
itself:
>>From 9 to 5

I looked in the CONSER cataloging manual but was still unsure. According to
section 16.2.2, the following WOULD be a title change "A word (other than an
article, preposition, or cojunction) is added, changed, or dropped within
the first five words of the title."    According to section 16.2.3, the
following would NOT be a title change "The only change is in the
representation of a word or words."  The example is "Fishery report"
changing to "Fisheries report"
