1. Continue with current practice (linking format change via 780/785 fields) but come up with a defined way of indicating to the user that this is a format change. This could be done through a note in |i ("relationship information") or |n ("note"), or through some other method.

2. Restrict the use of 78x fields to "work-level" changes in the title only, and use 776 fields (Additional Physical Form Entry) exclusively when recording the appearance or existence of a title in another format.

 \\ 
When a title originally issued in one format begins or is discovered to be issued in another format, the cataloger should create a record for the title under its new format, and connect the two with reciprocal 776 fields.  First indicator: 0 (display note); second: 8 (no display constant).  Add a note in subfield i (Relationship information (R)) to indicate the format of the record that the 776 is targeting.  If known, add chronological designations of the span of publication in the targeted record in $d (Place, publisher, and date of publication (NR)).

 \\ Example:

 \\ 
{{1242732

}}
{{245:00: $a Bulletin of the atomic scientists.

}}
{{776:08: $i Online version: $t Bulletin of the atomic scientists $x 1938-3282 $w (DLC)  2006238205 $w (OCoLC)37476498
