The challenge in applying this instruction is in knowing what words indicate a “type of resource.” Such terms convey the type of publication, not the subject matter of that publication, regardless of how common the term. Words such as bulletin, journal, magazine, review, and study and their equivalents in other languages are terms that indicate the type of resource. Changes in frequency words in the title are not affected by this instruction and still constitute a major change. Note also that the instruction only covers words “added or dropped” and does not include changes of the word from one type of resource term to another. (CCM: 16.2.4i)
While words like “News” and 'Times,” especially in connection with a serial resource, might seem to indicate a type of resource, but do not pass the indefinite article test, e.g. “a news” versus “a review” and the strict definition of what constitutes a type of resource. They represent gray areas to some and a bases minor change status in any future discussion aimed at reducing the need for creating a new description.
⮚Special Situations: Title Page Substitutes
When a serial does not have a title page, select another source as the preferred source for the title according to RDA 2.2.2.2. When working retrospectively, if it is evident from multiple issues that one source (e.g., the caption) has a stable title and that the title on a more preferred source (e.g., the cover) changes, choose the source with the stable title to avert the need for a new description.(CCM:16.2.5b) This minor change exception is likely more applicable to situations involving fluctuating titles or a series of changes over the iteration of a serial resource discovered retrospectively.
