Rose -- It depends on what the numbering pattern was for the earlier
issues.  The general principle is if the publisher re-uses the same
numbering pattern, then you create a new record.  If they start over,
but
it's not the exact same numbering pattern (whole numbers vs. vol/issue
numbers) then you note in a 515.  See LCRI 12.3G below for furhter
details.  Hope this helps.  --Steve

---------------------------------------------------

Two Records
  Create separate records when a serial's enumeration repeats the exact
numeric designation and the publisher does not link the old and new
systems with a designation such as "new series" or "second series."

record 1:  362 0# $a Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1960)-v. 5, no. 6 (June 1964)
record 2:  362 0# $a Vol. 1, no. 1 (July 1964)-

record 1:  362 0# $a Tome 1-t. 8
  (Eight volumes published 1979-1986)
record 2:  362 0# $a Tome 1 (1987)-

One Record
  Create a single record with appropriate notes when any of the
following
changes occur in the numeric and/or chronological designations:

1)  The numeric designation begins again with number "1" but has a
different designating term.

362 0# $a Bd. 1, Heft 1 (Jan. 1966)-Bd. 12, Heft 6 (Dec. 1977) ; v. 1,
       no. 1 (Jan. 1978)-
362 0# $a No. 1-no. 15 ; v. 1, no. 1-v. 5, no. 3

2)  A serial begins with a chronological designation and changes to a
numeric designation, beginning with "1," or the reverse---begins with
numeric and changes to chronological.  (Note:  there is at any time only
one uniquely identifying designation system.)

362 0# $a No. 1-no. 80 ; '79/1-'88/4
362 0# $a 1976-1984 ; 1st. ed.-7th ed.

3)  A serial begins again with the number "1" and the publisher links
the
old and new systems with the term "new series" or similar wording.

362 0# $a Vol. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1978)-v. 2, no. 12 (Dec. 1979) ; new ser.,
v. 1, no. 1 (Jan. 1980)-

4)  A serial begins with only a chronological designation and then
changes
to a numeric designation that accounts for the previously published
chronological issues.

362 0# $a 1984-
515 ## $a Issues published 1986-    called 3-

Changes in Designation Systems

Do not consider a serial to have adopted a new designation system
if it begins by having both a numeric and a chronological designation
and
drops one of the designations, or, if a serial begins with either a
chronological or numeric designation and the other designation (numeric
or
chronological) is added later.  Explain such changes in notes (see
12.7B8).
