Subject: Standard Corporation Descriptions

I'm having one of those hair pulling out days ...

For some reason the "title" change from Standard corporation descriptions
to Standard corporation descriptions has given me all kinds of headaches.
I'm finding this change especially problematic.  In its old incarnation,
issues were kept until superceded; in its new incarnation--well, I'm not
sure, they may be superceded with a bound set at the end of the year.
Anyway, I still have pieces on the shelf that "belong" under the old title
(although their days are numbered), but it would be so much simpler to
process in my ILS (Voyager) if I overlaid the old record with the new.

So my dilemma is ease of use on the one hand and bibliographic correctness
on the other.  How have you all handled this title change?  Up until the
recent change of Moody's to Mergent I'm not sure that I'd handled a title
change in a loose leaf type of publication, and I guess I'm still not sure
of all the rules.  If anyone has any generic pointers to share with me on
this type of title change, I'd appreciate those as well.

Thanks much,

Donna
