CD-ROM Reprints of Serials Ann L. Jones 28 Oct 1997 21:59 UTC

I am cataloging _The Craftsman on CD-ROM_ for our collection and am
struggling with the LC record for the title (sn9738109). I am accustomed
to dealing with reprints on paper and reprints on microform, each of which
has a slightly different set of rules, but this title does not seem to be
treated like a reprint at all. It seems to have been cataloged like a
direct access computer file version of a print publication, both of which
are currently published. However, the title it reproduces was published
from 1901-1916 and the CD-ROM is intended to be complete in five discs
(although only two have appeared to date). Although the approach taken
with this record is not incorrect as far as I can determine, it feels
wrong to me and I'd like to see some more examples or locate some specific
documentation so that I can better interpret the record for the piece I
have in hand. I am hoping that someone with more experience in this area
can give me some idea of where to look next.

One more (small) thing I find puzzling is that the record had two 006's,
one of which is clearly for the CD-ROM and the other of which is mostly
blank. Does anybody know if the blank 006 is meant to refer to the original
publication (in which case I could fill it in correctly) or is it just a
mistake?

Thanks for your help.
