title change question: ISSN 1046-6967 Kemp, Rebecca 23 Feb 2009 19:00 UTC

Hi, all- apologies for an elementary title change question.  I am trying to assess whether the change from WLA: OCLC # 60624910 shows 245 ǂa War, literature, and the arts ǂh [electronic resource] : ǂb WLA.  This title is an open publication.  However, OCLC #s 20306659 and 247077172 indicate a closing date of 1996, and a later title of just "WLA."

So my question is: should this title change be considered minor, because it is going from a use of the full words to just the initials?  Or should it be considered a major title change, because the title has lost the first five words (including "and" and "the")?  I do not have a physical copy with either title in front of me, because we have this title through an aggregator database.

Thanks, all,
Rebecca
