The phrase "for some years" in Noreen's original message should have been the warning I needed to check OCLC before replying. Unfortunately, I missed this in my haste to get through post-ALA email. Lynn, you are correct, this is a major change under the old rules and is already accounted for by LC. Which does still leave the original question of whether the introductory wording would be considered part of the title proper. The rule Diane quoted (12.1B3) is the correct rule to apply in this case, but sometimes one cataloger's doubt can be another cataloger's certainty. --Steve Steve Shadle shadle@u.washington.edu ******* Serials Cataloger ***** University of Washington Libraries, Box 352900 *** Seattle, WA 98195 (206) 685-3983 * > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: Threads -- Steve Shadle > From: Lynn Cote <Lynn.Cote@uconn.edu> > Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 11:38:56 -0400 > > > As an FYI...
