I think one might consider the portions of the title "Primary care in .
. .   " as parts rather than subtitles.   Cataloging rules do not
consider a change in subtitle a major title change.  However, if
publications have unique and separate parts, each part can have its own
bib record.

Is there a CONSER cataloger out there who interprets this situation as I
have?  If so, could you add new records for these publications?   There
are many of us who would be very grateful.

Thanks.

Have a nice long weekend everyone.

Re: Patient Care
If you go to the website for Patient Care
(http://patientcareonline.com/patcare/)at the very bottom of the page
you will find that the title has split into at least 6 edition demoted
by subtitle.  Each edition begins its numbering with v. 41, #1. The
cover dates however differ. We are still trying to decide whether to
treat as a title change.

Here's what they say (please note the subtitles):

The full citation for the January 2007 issue of Patient Care is

Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Neurology & Psychiatry. January
2007;41(1):xx-xx.
For February, it is

Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Endocrinology & Cardiology.
February 2007;41(1):xx-xx.
For March, it is

Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Neurology & Psychiatry. March
2007;41(2):xx-xx.
For April, they are

Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Dermatology. April
2007;41(1):xx-xx.
Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Endocrinology & Cardiology. April
2007;41(2):xx-xx.
Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Women's Health. April
2007;41(1):xx-xx.

And May are

Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Gastroenterology. May
2007;41(1):xx-xx.

Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Infectious Disease. May
2007;41(1):xx-xx.
Patient Care: Primary Care Topics in Neurology & Psychiatry. May
2007;41(3):xx-xx.

I hope this helps,
