Everywhere else, it | says Foreign Policy. Does this constitute a change of title (Foreign Policy | to FP Foreign Policy) and a need for a new record, or can I get by using | a 246 alternate title field? Hi, Buddy! How many issues do you have in hand with this change? Without seeing the actual issues, I would opt for adding a 246 field instead of making a new record. Foreign Policy appears to be the stable form of the title at this time. Karen Nadeski Contract Cataloger Donahue Group, Inc.

So since you say that the full form is still appearing on the pieces, the title proper remains Foreign Policy. Just add a 246.
