Former title proper used when one cataloging record represents several titles associated with an entity.
For instance, under some cataloging rules (e.g., ALA rules) a serial is cataloged under the latest title, with former titles noted in the same record in a title varies note. Likewise, under some cataloging rules (e.g., AACR2) an integrating resource is cataloged under the latest title, with former titles noted in the same record. Former titles proper may also be recorded in field 547 (Former Title Complexity Note).
Under other cataloging rules (e.g., AACR2), separate bibliographic records are created when a significant change in a serial title has occurred. When separate records are made for change of title, the linking entry fields 780 and 785 may be used to show the preceding and succeeding entries.
