[DCRM-L] Unrecognized variant?

[Shiner, Elaine P.]

According to OCLC guidelines on When to Input a New Record, a “ variation in preliminary paging, post paging or separate paging” (not sure what they mean by ‘separate paging’) does not justify making a new record.  If you made a new record, and the preliminary pagination was the only difference, your record might merge with that of  the x, 440 p. issue.

You can make a new record, however, if you use the rare book rules (dcrmb)

Subject: [DCRM-L] Unrecognized variant?

Hello All,

I think I may have an unrecognized variant of De la prothèse immédiate, appliquée a la résection des maxillaires (1889) by Claude Martin.

The records in OCLC all have the pagination as x, 440 pages, but the copy I have is vi, 440 pages, the Roman numerals in both cases representing the preface.

Compared to the digitized copy at The Internet Archive ( http://archive.org/stream/delaprothseimm00mart#page/n9/mode/2up<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__archive.org_stream_delaprothseimm00mart-23page_n9_mode_2up&d=CwMDaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=z7NicJkNYFkVLEcQmeSRBA7uLawvKWXubuodzMMWnVw&m=JwbtaCwq5TC_5X0YXjxD847PzYksFGnanWHZmF84wWI&s=2l7AwrFRybr2SBQ7IKfO9qzdYqUYfnkxMRNkNmEfINU&e=> ), the content of the preface in my copy is the same, but is set in a smaller font, taking less space. The title page, colophon, and main text block appear to be the same.

Is this a variation worthy of a new record? Or should I use the existing NLM record in OCLC, and just make a change in the local catalog (with appropriate notation, of course).

Thanks!
Barbara
