Edition Statement & Mode of Issuance
- Ronald Flewellen
⮚Edition Statement
If the change in an edition statement indicates a significant change in the scope or coverage of a serial, make a new description. Treat other changes in the edition statement as minor, making a note of them if considered important for identification. (CCM:16.4.2)
250 ## $a International edition.
500 ## $a Issues for 2000- called International version.
If the edition statement is dropped or only appears on several issues, add a note to cover this fact. (CCM: 9.5.2)
500 ## $a Some issues called International edition.
500 ## $a Issues for v. 4- lack edition statement.
⮚Preferred Title Changes Involving Language Expressions or Editions
Make a new description for a serial whose original title (as reflected in the preferred title for the serial work), has changed even when the title of the expression (field 245) has not changed (RDA6.1.3.2 and corresponding LC-PCC PS). This also applies to language editions when the title upon which the preferred title for the serial work is based changes. For example, If the English title was selected as the preferred title for the work and there is a change in the English title, the Spanish expression of the serial must be represented by two records, even though its title does not change during this period. (CCM:16.3.3)
⮚Mode of Issuance
Make a new description when a serial changes to either an integrating resource or multipart monograph, or vice versa. But do not make a new record when a newspaper or a monographic series changes to a regular serial (or vice versa). Instead, give the information in a general 500 note and update the serial type code (008/21). Exception: In the case of a newspaper changing to a regular serial, leave the serial type code as "n.“ (CCM:16.4.4)
