An example is the Water Quality Status Report published by the Division of Environmental Quality. Each piece in the series assesses the water quality of a specific river segment or geographic area and has a title reflecting its specific content. This is a very effective way to group similar titles for easy retrieval. For a series, it is important to include all elements required on a title page, as well as a consistent series title and numbering scheme. Title changes Before changing the title of a newsletter or report, consider whether it is really necessary.
Readers find it confusing to have several titles for essentially the same publication.
Old and new titles may end up some distance apart on library shelves, if filed by title. It costs more for libraries to create catalog records for each title, and show linkages between them. On the other hand, a significant change in scope or purpose is often best communicated through a title change. If you do change the title, be sure to note the change in the first issue or edition published under the new title. By the way, it is wise to avoid any reference to frequency in the title.
