Odd question Urbanik, Elizabeth 13 Oct 2003 19:56 UTC

I just had our current journals librarian ask me a question on behalf of a
student. She said his assignment was to find a serial or journal that had
had a numbering change. Obviously this is one of those things the profs do
to get their students acquainted with the library (I hope). I'm stumped. Can
anyone out there give me any hints? What I want to do is be able to give the
student a clue or a couple of steps that would set him on the right path --
I don't like handing out answers to assignments if it's the student's job to
find those answers.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Elizabeth
