I would leave your 362 the way you have formatted it (but add a date (Nov.
13, 1999) to the alternative numbering) and then explain the seesaw
numbering of the Thursday and Saturday issues in a 515.

| Subject: Newspaper with double numbering
|
| I'm cataloging a newspaper "Reedsburg report times-press" which was
formed
| by the union of "Reedsburg report" and "Reedsburg times-press". The paper
| is published twice a week.  The issue published on Thursdays continues
the
| numbering of the Report while the issue published on Saturdays continues
| the numbering of the Times-press.
|
| The CONSER Manual has an example ...
|
| 245 00  Gazette and courier.
| 362 0    Gazette vol. 49, no. 2579 (July 20, 1841)-June 24, 1932 =
Courier v. 4, no. 16-v. 93, no. 1.
|
| So, following this example, my 362 0   would look like this:
|
| Reedburg report vol. 4, no. 45 (Nov. 11, 1999)- = Reedsburg times-press
v.
| 139, no. 46-
|
| However, when I checked the title "Gazette and courier" in OCLC
| (#9771321), the alternative numbering had been moved to a 515 field:
| Issues for July 20, 1841-June 24, 1932 also called Courier new ser. v. 4,
| no. 16-v. 93, no. 1.
|
| My question is: What should I do about the double numbering system; put
it
| in 362 like the example in the CONSER Manual, or field 515 like the OCLC
| record?
