Thank you. I do serials as well as everything else so I'm not always certain that my take on the current rules is what it should be. I do appreciate seeing you run through the various elements & your determination at the end. It's good to see the OCLC record cleaned up. Thanks! Patricia Patricia Fogler, Catalog Librarian Muir S.

Since there is no title source note and this appears to be book like, I'm guessing source is title page. If #38222513 is cataloged correctly, it appears the title appearing on the title page from 1999 to 2003 is 'Time almanac'. The addition/dropping of 'with Information Please' from the cover would not affect the title as it appears on the chief source and the choice of title proper. #180705772 is a little odd however in that the title proper they're referencing in the 780 link is different from what currently appears in #38222513. Could be bad cataloging, could be that there were some records collapsed and this 780 was never updated. As the records currently stand, #38222513 Time Almanac --> #180705772 Time Alamanac is obviously not *any* change (major or not) and the record for the later 'title' should be reported for deletion. I will try to verify information best I can but our run is pretty spotty. I agree with Patricia's judgment that 'powered by Encyclopedia Britannica' is more like a statement of responsibility than part of title proper.
