Title Changes
- There are two types of title changes and they are handled
differently in PANDAS depending on whether the title is a serial or an
integrating title. Mono titles, by their very nature, are unable
to change title so make sure the format is correct before attempting to make
title changes. For serial titles a new record is created when the title changes
and each title has its own persistent identifier. For integrating titles, the
same record and persistent identifier is used. In both cases use the
History tab to link former and later titles.
Serials
- NOTE: Serial titles are always linked by editing the
later title. Make sure that the Format selected is Serial. If the
incorrect format is selected, the wrong window will display in the
History tab.
- Search for the previous title and note its PI (persistent
identifier)
- Search for the later title or create a new record, as
necessary
- Select Edit from the top menu
- Select the History tab for the title
- In the box that displays, input the PI of the previous title.
If you know when the title changed enter the date into the fields provided. If
you do not know the date the title changed, today's date will be input by
default.
- Click Link
- This produces a message to confirm that the correct titles
are being linked. If you are sure the titles are correct, click Yes.
- You remain in the History tab and information about
the two linked titles appears at the bottom of the window. The date for the
change of title also appears on the right hand side of the window.
- Click Finish
- A message appears to say that the title has been modified
successfully.
- Click Finish to return to the view screen for the
title.
