In reply to Flizabeth Fenwick's message quoted below:

According to the CONSER cataloging manual, the name of the
issuing body added or deleted from the end of the title is NOT
a title change.  Nor is it a title change when the change is in
the representation of a word or words. Example: "Fishery
report" to "Fisheries report."

      "Just trying to get something straight.  At one point, Library of
      Congress rule interpretations for "Changes not to be
      considered title changes of serials" included:  (1) singular
      forms vs.plural forms of words and (2) names of issuing
      bodies added or deleted to the end of the title together with
      any linguistic connection, not to be considered title changes.
      Now these *are* to be considered title changes.  Right?"
