PREFERRED SOURCE OF INFORMATION
Serials: Retrospective Cataloging
LC practice/PCC practice: The following are exceptions to the preferred source of information only when cataloging retrospectively and only when there are no existing records to be cancelled.
1.
If an issue has two or more different titles and the title that appears in a less preferred source is known (because of a trademark or other symbol that appears with it) to be the stable title that does not vary from issue to issue, use the source with the stable title as the preferred source of information.
2.
If two or more issues are available and the title appearing in a less preferred source remains stable from issue to issue (e.g., if the masthead title remains stable but the cover title changes from issue to issue), use the source with the stable title as the preferred source of information.
3.
If a title page is added to or dropped from issues, consider that the serial lacks a title page and identify the preferred source of information according to the priority order of sources.
Include other titles as variant titles (RDA 2.3.6) if important for identification or access.

OTHER SOURCES OF INFORMATION
LC practice/PCC practice: Use square brackets if information taken from a source outside a resource itself is supplied in any of the elements listed. However, apply the exception in this instruction if the resource is of a type that does not normally carry identifying information.
CIP Cataloging

as the source of information for the sub elements in the Publication statement, Distribution statement, and Manufacture statement when cataloging CIPs at the galley stage. A cataloger may make any adjustment to the supplied information judged appropriate to reflect more nearly the data provided in the galley

2.
The title of a main series not included in an existing authorized access point appears on later issues or parts.
If the presence/absence of the title of the main series continues to be inconsistent, do not create additional SARs. Use the SAR for the later authorized access point and add information and variant access points as appropriate.

MINOR CHANGES
LC practice/PCC practice: for minor change categories:
Category a): Consider that "one spelling vs. another" applies both in the case of ordinary orthographic variations and in the case of official orthographic changes. Consider that "a change in grammatical form" includes singular vs. plural, adjective vs. noun, and genitive vs. nominative case.

Consider that "a change in grammatical form" includes singular vs. plural, adjective vs. noun, and genitive vs. nominative case.Category c): If the change is in the name of a body that is part of the title proper and the change requires the creation of a new heading for the body (see RDA 11.2.2.6), consider such a change to be a major change. Consider the presence or absence of the name or title of the official of the body to be a minor change.

Consider the presence or absence of the body to whom a publication is presented to be a minor change.Category e): Also apply this category when the title is given in more than one script. Do not consider there to be a major change even if the addition of the title in another language or script on a later issue would affect the choice of title proper if the description were based on that issue. However, consider that there has been a major change if there is evidence that the publisher intentionally changed the title; such evidence may include, for example, a statement by the publisher or a new ISSN printed on the publication.
