We add a holding-annotation: Vol. 1-4: Reprint ed. <impressum> Hope this is of help to you, Anneke Houtkamp *************************** JHM.Houtkamp@ubvu.vu.nl tel. 020-4445152 *************************** _____ Date: Wed, 29 Nov 1995 17:10:42 -0500 (EST) From: CFTREMPE@hawk.syr.edu Subject: Re: Holdings for Serials Reprints (David Howard) In order to avoid having 2 bibliographic records in cases when our run includes both original and reprint vols., we use the record for the original, assuming most of our vols. are the original, and add a 590-note to the effect that some vols. are the reprint ed.; the note includes the imprint of the reprint. In cases where there is a clear break, we give the precise vols. that are the reprint; if they are scattered throughout the run, we create a more generic note. We create one ldr on the original record for all holdings in the union list.

Technically, if you follow AACR2R to the letter you should only have the holdings for the original on the record with the original, and only the holdings for the reprint on the reprint record. HOWEVER, you need to determine how your library and your patrons will best benefit from the online records. Although the reprint will have a note "Reprint of a publication originally issued ... " on it, most patrons are not going to read that far down into the record to figure out what is going on with two records for the (apparently) same title. It is my non-scientific observation that most patrons will stop when they find what they (think they) are looking for. So I would recommend that you, at a minimum, put ALL of your holdings into the record for the original, perhaps noting which volumes are for the reprint. (I am assuming that they all get the same call number or are all shelved together). The reprint could have just the holdings for the reprint on it and indicate that more complete holdings are listed on the record for the original title. You might even consider removing the record for reprint from you catalog if no one objects (cataloging dept, reference, etc.). I hope that helps. -- Mitch _^_ _^_ ( ___ )-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-( ___ ) | | | | | | Mitch Turitz, Serials Librarian | | | | San Francisco State University Library | | | | Internet: turitz@sfsu.edu | | | | | | ( ___ )-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-==-( ___ ) V V "Before the beginning of great brillance, there must be chaos.
