Most of our medical and legal library clients want serial records for
textbooks issued in a new edition overy one or two years. "Always"
rarely applies to anything in cataloguing.
Why should they pay $11.00 for a new record, when they can just add a
holding* locally? For libraries which keep older editions for
historical purposes, why should they clutter up their OPACs with
multiple records for the same work?

*Which reminds me, UTLAS had 021 for analytic ISBNs in this case.
Hope Bibfram has something like that. Copying to Bibframe.
