 Biotechnology
& bioengineering (Online)
 Journal web site gives the title as cited, 
 all other pages (1996-) show the title with additional 
 words "... with combinatorial chemistry" ; 
 this section was not added until 1998
Using journal web site avoids a title change (Added Entry very necessary);
doing so would keep online title in sync with print title presentation

 BRAZZIL - News from Brazil Earlier issues with old titles maintained here Entry/homepage has image of print cover that
clearly presnts the title, several varitions of title appear throughout
1 1 0
 eWeekly Appears some reformatting has occured, Homepage has new title 
 eCommerce weekly, some earlier issues retain early title
IF using successive entry approach, 
would use issue, [perhaps another approach better?]

 Hungary Report A digest of material from print publications;
Could be that publisher was just careless with
how title presented on issues
Surveyor would prefer not to create separate
records for these 2 issues as title change
1 1
 IAT infobits Changed URL reference explained title change
(publisher changed, therefore title changed)
Home page gives clear formal presentation;
titles also clearly labeled on the issues;
issues arranged earliest to latest,
first wouldn't issue wouldn't be a good source

 IESS Internet Entrepreneur
Support Service Association Newsletter

 Per ARL, seems to have been two title changes: 
 Entrepreneurs newsletter, IESS Internet Entrepreneur 
 Support Service Association Newsletter. ARL lists 2 titles,
urls lead to current site where 3rd, current title appears
Frame at top of issue 1
 International family planning
perspectives and digest
This title is the middle of a three title change.
JSTOR has treated these successivly, with
separate home pages, links and 
ample descriptive information
As a reproduction [image based for online viewing] prefer to
treat as regular print reprint: use chief source of print counterpart

 Newbury Weekly
and Business Review
  No issues, but site no longer shows title cited in ARL listing, 
  title changed and site reformatted with new title
1 0
 Newsline on the web CONSER record shows title as Newsline on the Web, 
appears nowhere now, also variations of title on several issues
difficult to decide, could construct it so not really a title change,
but more of addition of head of title

 Northern Life Magazine No issues, but site no longer shows title cited in
ARL listing, title changed and site reformatted with new title

 RPG Times, The Title change occured when it went from text (email/ftp)
to HTML v. 1 issue #1. 
URL leads to current issue,
all back issues available including earlier titles,
& first issue with new title. No real home page

 Textual reasoning Early issues retained earlier title;
OCLC record reflects wrong issue showing change.
Online version candidate for incorporating entry;
print record does not mention a change in title.

 UnixWorld Online A page linking to Unixworld online contents says
its being incorporated into Network computing online,
[on initial page]
Initial page gives all titles, no issues online since oriented
to giving access only to articles (far as I can tell)
