Errors (?) in CONSER records for some Australian serials Kristine Smets 22 Apr 1996 17:35 UTC

The records for 3 Australian serials seem to contain errors in the linking
statements.  OCLC record 26344454 for "International investment
position, Australia," reports that this serial merged with "Balance of
payments, Australia" (OCLC 7212989), to form: "International trade in
services, Australia" (OCLC 24840736 -- a non-authenticated record).
However, the latter record reports the reverse, i.e. it merged with
"Balance of payment, Australia" to form: "International investment
position, Australia."  The record for "Balance of payments, Australia"
does not mention the other 2 serials at all.

As far as I can tell (and I verified this on the web server of the Australian
Bureau of Statistics, http://www.statistics.gov.au), all 3 serials are still
being published today.  We have a 1992/93 issue as latest issue for all 3
serials.   Would someone with CONSER status be willing to verify this
information and correct these records?
