[DCRM-L] Shares citation but varies from PDF

[Shiner, Elaine]

Dear Alice:

I don't think that's a good idea, since you have no control over the links.  If I couldn't find any difference that could justify a new OCLC record, I would insert a 500 note into the master record, but without referring to the link.  For instance, "Two editions are noted." or "Two setting of type are noted", and then: In one, the last line of text on p. [5] reads:  ". occafion plus favorable pour confondre vos en- .."; in the other, the last line of text on p. [5] reads "[whatever it reads in the electronic resource]"  I don't think it's necessary to mention Martin & Walter, as long as the description in Martin & Walter could refer to either.

Dear colleagues--  We are converting some French Revolution pamphlets to MARC records from catalog cards, many of which include citations.  The one in hand cites  Martin & Walter, III, 24452, which is further linked through (OCoLC) 12938925 to an electronic resource that has the same page count but  different type-set.  I'm wondering whether I should note mine as a variant through a note such as the one below and would appreciate hearing how any of you might handle this situation.  Thank you.

500		This ed. varies from electronic resource linked to (OCoLC) 12938925 which also cites Martin & Walter. Révolution française. III, 24452.  Last line of text on p. [5] reads:  ". occafion plus favorable pour confondre vos en- .."

510  4	Martin & Walter. Révolution française, [c]III, 24452
