[Classweb-users] Question concerning classification of a serial title change

[Michael.Borries at mail.cuny.edu]

Since I rarely handle serials, I would like a confirmation on my 
understanding of the provisions of CSM.

I have on my desk D&AD.  Previous title, D&AD annual, which LC classes at 
NC998.6.G7 D47.  This classification is for British commercial art. 
However, D&AD has the subtitle "The best advertising and design in the 
world," and the contents show that this title no longer covers only 
Britain.

CSM says "If the serial is linked to a previously cataloged serial and the 
numbering continues, assign the same call number that was assigned to the 
previously cataloged serial provided that the class number is acceptable." 
 Am I correct in thinking that in this case the class number would no 
longer be considered acceptable, since the scope had changed?
