Jeff, if you have the LCRI's,
See LCRI's 25.5B CONFLICT RESOLUTION. Pay particular attention to
to the instruction for "Serials (Including Numbered Monographic
Series...)"  under items "1) General" "2) Choice of qualifying term,"
and "3) Form of qualifying term."  Then skip to the instruction for
"Computer File Serials" (on p. 13 of 25.5B, Aug. 1997 update).

Nowhere do you see an instruction to qualify a "print" serial, yet all
sections referred to above, save the last, apply to the traditional
serial, i.e. print, IMHO.

I would prefer to have seen one of the traditional qualifying terms
used, in case of conflict, for the print version. Usage of the term
"print" may break a conflict with another version which is a computer
file, but its kind of an obtuse term to use, in the world of serials
titles.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
Beth

I just came across a record in OCLC in which the uniform title "Nitric oxide (Print)" was added to the record for the print version (OCLC #35147437).  This is the source of my question.

There is no indication, however, that a 130 should be added to the print copy.  The example in Module 31 for a concurrently published serial (http://lcweb.loc.gov/acq/conser/mod31pt2.html#record) is "Emerging infectious diseases."  While the example has the uniform title "Emerging infectious diseases (Online)", the counterpart print record does NOT have a uniform title.
