Teresa--you've entered one of cataloging's perplexing dimensions:
having to decide whether to ignore AACR2 and locally edit your bib
record, giving a 246 on the record for Fine homebuilding for the latter
title, or, cataloging the two titles as changed. Of course, if
the records were both CONSER records, I'd say, go with the flow.
And, what's best for your patrons? This is just my opinion--Beth Guay
