Also the 500 field for bibliographic information about the new
publisher(s).  Also, answering Diane Paldan's question, in the 500 field
you can give the entire publication history, if you wish, listing all
the publishers, etc.  Generally though, if it's commercial publishers,
the cataloging rules allow a general "imprint varies" or equivalent if
you get over three publishers, though I've seen records that ignore that
(seems to be happening more and more).  For associations and such, you
list all, even if over three--unless it gets really absurd, with
associations crawling out of the woodwork or the like, causing a very
long record.
