Since Europa was a word added to the title I didn't consider it to matter whether or not it was a change in name. It was a word added to the first five words of the title so I considered it a major change as it is defined in AACR2 21.2A1. As I interpret exception c the name would already have to be in the title for a change in the name to be considered minor. Since the name was not in the title at all but was added to the title I treated it as a title change. Also, if you're waiting for the OCLC record of the previous title to be updated before you consider this a title change my experience has been that you may have a long wait. We change the old title manually in our own system when the previous title has not has not been updated in OCLC.
