“You add to the existing surrogate record and make this a second copy. In reality, your students don‘t care which edition they have, and they will get confused if they see two records for the same title. But, speaking as a cataloger, you have an edition that was created with the same type image with just a change in distributor. Make a second 020 for the Scholastic ISBN and be done with it.”

KathyWheeler We have separate records for the ebook and print book of the same title. We strip the call number from the ebook record because we found it confused our students. If I had two print editions, I‘d consider this. 2y

“The Resource Description and Access rule together with ISBD rules determine the content of the information included in the fields for physical description. However, RDA is not as concerned about the punctuation rules of ISBD as was AACR . . . The MARC21 rules determine how that information is organized for presentation in an electronic catalog.”
