Re: Mobil travel guide. Northwest & Alaska Bothmann, Robert L 24 Jan 2005 17:32 UTC
Thanks, Steve. I guess I wasn't as clear as I should have been in my description of the question. The 245 has four words in the title, so "& Alaska" is an addition of words to the title, and indicates a change of scope. I can see that an interpratation would be to call this a minor title change per 21.2A2b (addition, deletion, or change of articles, prepositions, or conjuctions anywhere in the title). However, I still feel that the addition of the words and the scope change removal of Canada, addition of Alaska seems rather major to me) makes it quite clear that this is a major change, not a minor one.. Is there a way to readdress this so that we can use 57346281, which appears to me in my "cataloger's judgement" to be the appropriate record to use.

Northwest & Alaska Robert -- I don't disagree with your judgment about change of scope, but only want to point out that Alaska is the *sixth* word in the title ("&" is a word), thus added after the first five. My guess is that the cataloger working on it considerred Alaska implicitly part of the Northwest and didn't consider it a change of scope. --Steve On Sun, 23 Jan 2005, Bothmann, Robert L wrote: > The 2003 and 2004 editions of "Mobil travel guide.
