Hi,

In newspaper cataloging we come across a lot of changes in designation,
some changes, some errors, some corrections, some just out there in left
field.  And some corrections get corrected and so forth.

To show a jump/change in numbering I tend to do the successive 362:

i.e.,

362 0   Vol. 1, no. 1 (May 22, 1965)-v. 22, no. 2 (May 22, 1987) ;  56th
yr., no. 3 (May 23, 1987)-

If I don't have the exact issues of where the change happened then I do a
515 with < > around the closest dates I have.

i.e.,

515     Issues also called: -<v. 22, no. 2 (May 22, 1987)> ; <56th yr.,
no. 10 (May 30, 1987)>-

In either case I don't tend to do a 515 to explain, often too hard to know
what a publisher is doing or intending.  I try to show in the 362/515
that a change did happen but that it still is the same publication and so
that users will know they aren't missing big gap in time.

Glad that I don't worry about binding newspapers :)

hope this helps, Lise Hedin
