[DCRM-L] printing variations

[Schneider, Nina]

Since there seem to be changes throughout, it sounds like a different
edition. I would create a new record. You could add a note about the NYC
imprint.

Subject: [DCRM-L] printing variations


Dear all-I have 2 versions of an 1852 Auburn, NY imprint.  One chief
difference is printer, with one printed in Auburn, the other in NYC.
There are minor differences in how t.p. appears (typeface and use of
ampersands), but both have the same publication and copyright dates.
However, there are minor differences in pagination and some variations,
not all minor, in content and order of material.  The OCLC records for
both print and electronic versions reflect the NYC variant.  
 
I am uncertain as what to do on OCLC; SU Library is not yet creating
institutional records and I'm not sure I see a justification for a new
master OCLC record, since the total number of pages is the same, with
the  Auburn printing having a gap of 9 numbers between the Roman and
Arabic sequences where the NYC version has no gap.
 
Would replacing the OCLC master record with information on the variant
version be the best way to proceed?
 
Thanks, chas.t.
