- > Our library received Professor Wegmann's _Cellular and Molecular Biology_
- > v.38, nos.5/6 (Aug/Sept 1992) on Nov. 16, 1992; the receipt of Pergamon's
- > _Cellular and Molecular Biology_ v.38, no.5 (Aug 1992) a week later promp-
- > ted some quick thinking about how this situation should be handled. The
- > outer appearance of the two issues is extremely similar; the insides are
- > dissimilar in more than content. Some comparison data:
- >
- > OUTER APPEARANCE: Color, size, front cover layout, and spine information
- > are identical. The ISSN, coden, and "indexed/abstracted in:" information
- > are identical. The Wegmann issue has dropped the Pergamon imprint statement
- > from the front cover and replaced the back cover Pergamon imprint with new
- > imprint data (Imprimerie R. DUVAL). The Pergamon issue front cover now
- > lists two "associate editors" (M.A.Q. Siddiqui, T. Nagata) instead of list-
- > ing an "editor" (R. Wegmann).
- >
- > INSIDE: P. i of the Wegmann issue lists an editor-in-chief (R.J. Wegmann),
- > an associate editor, U.S.A. and Canada (R.F. Ochillo), and an associate
- > editor, Asia (T. Nagata). The double issue contains 25 articles (with ab-
- > stracts in English) by authors from institutions in 12 different countries,
- > including 6 articles by authors from US institutions. The one article in
- > French has summaries in French and English. The article texts are all in
- > the same typeface and are single-spaced. The issue's paging goes from p.
- > 477-699.

- > P. [i] of the Pergamon issue lists an associate editor, U.S.A. and Canada
- > (M.A.Q. Siddiqui) and an associate editor, Asia (T. Nagata). (Note: this is
- > the same person mentioned in the Wegmann issue; there is also considerable
- > overlap between the editorial board members listed in the two versions.)
- > This issue contains 5 articles (with abstracts in English), all by authors
- > from US institutions. The article texts are in various type fonts and are
- > entirely or partially doublespaced. The issue's paging goes from p.477-542.

- > For the time being, we have decided to check in and provide both to our
- > users. (We are considering whether we need separate check-in records in
- > order to claim effectively, should that be necessary.) To distinguish the
- > two versions, the issues are labeled in the upper left hand corner as "Weg-
- > mann version" or "Pergamon version." We are also posting a sign at the
- > shelving location to alert users to the existence of two versions of this
- > title. Our bindery assistant has been asked to delay binding the second
- > half of 1992 until further notice, the circulation staff have been instruc-
- > ted to shelve both versions together, and we plan to do a "show and tell"
- > presentation about this title at our next library-wide staff meeting. Fin-
- > ally, we have asked our vendor to delay renewal of this title for 1993
- > until the smoke clears.

- Hope this is helpful
