Answer: This is a numbering change

FF: Freq ■

Regl ■ DtSt c Dates 1995, 9999

362 1- \$a Began with Volume 1, Number 1 (January 1995); original
numbering ceased with v. 11, no. 12 (Dec. 2006). Issues for Jan. 2007-
not numbered.

500 \-- \$a Description based on: Volume 1, Number 1 (January 1995);
title from title page.

500 \-- \$a Latest issue consulted: March 2007.

OR:

362 1- Began with Volume 1, Number 1 (January 1995).

515 \-- \$a Volume numbering ended with Volume 11, Number 12 (December
2006). Issues for January 2007- not numbered.

Note: Catalogers will find various ways to express this situation, e.g.:
"Issues for Jan. 2007- lack volume numbering" Reminder: Notes are not
prescriptive. So long as the message is clear, don't worry about wording
differences.

Indicate which field(s) would need editing and which fields you would
add to the record above.

1.  Even though the city of publication has changed, the state has not
    so this would not be noted nor would the fixed field Country of
    Publication code change.

2.  The cataloger familiar with the CONSER Standard Record guidelines
    will notice some stylistic differences: (a) Coding for the Fixed
    Field (Conf, Freq, Regl); (b) 260 \$c; (c) presence of 300
    field; (d) formatted 362 field. However, unless the information is
    out of date, no modification is required.

Indicate which field(s) would need editing and which fields you would
add to the record above.

1\. The fixed field dates can be edited to reflect that the publisher
states the beginning date in the sidebar on page six.

2\. The Frequency note (310 field) should be updated to reflect the
current frequency, with a \$b to show the period related to that
frequency (i.e., that the serial was monthly only from some date after
1988).

3\. The cataloger should preserve the previous frequency in a 321 note
(as shown).

4\. An unformatted 362 field can be added to reflect the beginning date.

5\. The word in the 500 quoted note no longer appears on the piece but
could be left in the record.

6\. A Latest issue consulted (LIC) note indicates the most recent issue
seen by the cataloger. The LIC should be enhanced to: 500 \-- \$a Latest
issue consulted: Vol. 20, No. 2 (February 2007).

Indicate which field(s) would need editing and which fields you would
add to the record above.

The piece in hand has a later form of the corporate body\'s name. This
is an AACR1 record and description is based on the latest issue. Thus
the publisher is changed and the earlier publisher is given in a 550
note. An added entry is added for the new publisher.

Indicate which field(s) would need editing and which fields you would
add to the record above.

1.  The Encoding level can be changed to blank (if CONSER library) from
    \"7\" (Minimal level).

2.  Note that that publishing statement has the abbreviated form "The
    Museum" which is now not used. This does not need to be changed,
    unless you wish to do so to provide better access through the 260
    field.

3.  The physical description could be completed, although this is not
    critical. (The 300 field is not required for CONSER Standard Record
    maintenance anyway.)

4.  Latest issue consulted should be added; and the 936 deleted.

5.  Subject headings should be added to the record.

6.  The earlier title link should be checked against your catalog to see
    if you hold the title and if so, whether the form of the linking
    entry matches.

**Part C**

Edit the copy provided to indicate cessations based on the information
provided.

Example 1:

It is known from an external source (vendor, publisher, etc.) that the
title ceased publication in 1986. Volume and issue numbering are not
known and the last issue in hand was published in 1985.
