Abstract

Librarians at Louisiana State University, while preparing to bring up a NOTIS serial check-in system, raised the question of whether or not to follow Northwestern's lead in reintroducing latest entry cataloging. A sample of the library's already cataloged, both inactive and active, serials was selected to assist in drawing a conclusion. The analysis of the sample revealed that close to thirty percent, a sizeable portion, of the serials had undergone straightforward title changes and could probably easily be cataloged with latest entry. However, it also brought up some local as well as other concerns which make the handling of title changes with latest entry once again a questionable alternative at this time.
