**Serials Title Changes**

  • Search old title in OCLC and make a printout.
  • Search new title in OCLC (F2), by using the OCLC number found in the 785 field of the old title. Catalog according to fastcat instructions below. If no record for the new title can be found in Connexion, give issues to Ann to create an original record.
