[Metadatalibrarians] how to title journal records

[Platt, Alice]

Thank you for bringing up that point. I am technically able to do that, although I'm not sure I would want to - I'd rather preserve and present the document as it was originally distributed.



I think I wasn't entirely clear in my original message; my concern was really that the exact same title - for instance, VPAA Newsletter - would show up multiple times in the title list. That's because the one title would be used for each instance of the periodical, with nothing to differentiate one from the other unless the user looked further at the dates associated with each item. Pretty much everyone who has responded indicated that they solved this problem by adding the date or periodical issue number after the title (preferably date, because issue numbers can be incorrect). I think that's a pretty good solution.

Are you able (both legally and technology-wise) to use Acrobat Pro to compile the component pdfs into a single pdf document?
