[DCRM-L] Creating New records?

[Deborah J. Leslie]

For special collections we would definitely make a new record. We would
consider that the difference in binding constitutes a new "issue."

Folks,

I must be having a senior moment, but I would like some advice on a 
problem you have all encountered many times.  We have a paperback copy
of 
a book by a New Mexico author in Special Collections.  We were given a 
copy of the hardback version (same date, 1 less page) with dj and signed

by the author.  I know better than to create a new OCLC record, but what

do folks do in their local systems?  Do you make copy-specific notes or
do 
you make a second record on your local system for the variant?  Thanks.

Feeling rusty,
Larry
