You may or may not know that journal titles sometimes change names. Therefore, if you are looking in a library catalog for a particular journal from a particular year and it appears that the library doesn't have what you want, be sure to read the catalog record closely to make sure that the journal didn't change names, instead of just assuming that they don't have what you want and walking away. If the journal changed names, the appropriate years will be listed in a separate catalog record under the new (or old) journal title.
For example, the Journal of Engineering Drawing was published from 1950 to 1958, when it changed names to the Journal of Engineering Graphics in 1959. Then, in 1970, the journal again changed names to Engineering Design Graphics Journal. These name changes are signified in a catalog record by the notes "continued by" and "continues."
Thus:
- Journal of Engineering Drawing 1950-1958
continued by Journal of Engineering Graphics - Journal of Engineering Graphics 1959-1970
continues Journal of Engineering Drawing
continued by Engineering Design Graphics Journal - Engineering Design Graphics Journal 1970-
continues Journal of Engineering Graphics
To what important point, you ask, is this interminable post headed? Well, that will be revealed in part two of "Enough is Enough."
