I would like to know if anyone can explain to me why the following was considered as a title change in 1992? The title proper has not changed, the volume numbering has not changed, the subject coverage has not changed, and it was a title main entry but now has a uniform title main entry with a (new) corporate body qualifier. I realize that according to the LCRI (LC Rule Interpretations) that if you have a uniform title main entry with a corporate body that you have to create successive entry, EVEN IF THE TITLE PROPER HAS NOT CHANGED, if the qualifier is a corporate body which has changed. Now in this case, the original title was a title main entry WITHOUT a uniform title or corporate author. Both records are coded as "a" in "Desc" (i.e. AACR2). This seems to me to be an unnecessary title change, but it even has a new ISSN, so can someone explain this to me? Oh, I just noticed the 890 (LC's check-in title) for the first record HAS a qualifier, which is different from the 890 in the second record. What I am thinking of doing is making a 130 for: Business Europe (Business International S.A.) for the first title. This will make the successive records look better to me. Examples are appended below. Opinions? Suggestions? -- Mitch [Editor's note: Regretfully, non-Roman characters (such as the subfield markers present in these MARC records) and language diacritics do not translate well, or consistently, through SERIALST's listserv software.
