Re: Major or Minor change question OCLC 10296033 Regina Reynolds 27 Sep 2006 23:37 UTC
Steve and all I will need to check some documents and examples when I return to work (I am in Stockholm for an ISSN directors meeting). I think I remember some training examples, etc. of this sort of situation and that Steve is correct. I am inclined at this moment to consider this major change. If so, a new ISSN would be assigned.

A strict interpretation of the rules would imply this is not a major change (deletion of issuing body). However, the NSH opinion of myself and others (including Jean Hirons) in this case (where an issuing body/publisher was part of the title proper and the it was dropped at the same time the issuing body/publisher changed), you really are talking about a major change. > > Any possibility we can get an new ISSN for the title change? > > Steve Shadle/Serials Access Librarian ***** shadle@u.washington.edu > University of Washington Libraries *** Phone: (206) 685-3983 > Seattle, WA 98195-2900 * Fax: (206) 543-0854 > > On Tue, 26 Sep 2006, Joe Orth wrote: > > > "Want's federal-state court directory" OCLC # 10296033 is a CONSER blessed > > record.
