[MinervaCats] The battle for Skandia/Oakleaf bearers

[Karen Jones]

Hi Ulla,
I brought this up initially thinking this would make a case for having 2 separate series as Rebecca had suggested.
 
I'm a little surprised that such recent publications in the same language have a uniform title as so many of the OCLC records show.  I think there should be a 500 note explaining that the books were published with different titles in Australia and the U.S. which does appear in some of the bib records.  
 
Another title in this series that was published differently: The sorcerer in the north in Australia and The sorcerer of the north in the U.S.  I added a 246 field in the record for the item that we own.
 
Any other thoughts?
Karen

Hi Karen,

Two of the bibs had the other title in the 240 field, so I changed the ones that were in the 246 field,
but maybe they should be in the 246 (varying form of title.)  If so, what should the indicators be?
Please let me know and I'll fix them.

Thank you,
Ulla

One thing that's a little disconcerting is that a couple of the individual titles are different between the Australian and U.S. versions.
