     It might be of interest that the Library of Congress has requested
     that Academic Press file for separate ISSN's for it's print and
     electronic products, even though the content of both are currently
     identical issue-by-issue.  This was something discussed back and forth
     for several months, and it was the international committee on these
     standards that pushed the LOC to this decision.

Subject: Uniform Title and Electronic Serials

Colleagues,

When a print and electronic version of a serial are issued simultaneously, does
one need to add a 130 to the print version of the serial?  I just came across a
record in OCLC in which the uniform title "Nitric oxide (Print)" was added to
the record for the print version (OCLC #35147437).  This is the source of my
question.

CONSER Catatloging Manual 5.2.5, "When not to add a uniform title" says that a
uniform title is NOT necessary "when the records represent different physical
versions of the same serial that are issued simultaneously."

I also checked Module 31 online.  31.6 states that "a computer file serial that
is also issued in another physical format, such as print or CD- ROM, is not
treated as a reproduction, and therefore requires a uniform title qualified by
the physical medium."  There is no indication, however, that a 130 should be
added to the print copy.  The example in Module 31 for a concurrently published
serial (http://lcweb.loc.gov/acq/conser/mod31pt2.html#record) is "Emerging
infectious diseases."  While the example has the uniform title "Emerging
infectious diseases (Online)", the counterpart print record does NOT have a
uniform title.

So, should the record for the print version have a uniform title added?  If so,
under what circumstances?

Thanks for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Jeff Steely
