I have encountered a conundrum for which I would like some advice.
I have a copy of a map from China Cartographic Publishing House: Map of the People's Republic of China, dated 1998. This is a political map, published bilingually in Chinese and English. I have found WorldCat Oclc records for 1998, 2nd ed., as this one is. But the conundrum is that the ISBN, both 10 and 13 digit versions, match a later, 4th ed. Map given variously as 2000, or 2003 in Oclc. I am unsure which version of the record to use. If I use the one for which most of the data matches, then the ISBN we have will not show up in the database after I change it. If I choose the one for which ISBN matches, I am really using a record for a later edition of the map. Any choice I make is going to be a compromise, unless I create a new record. I am not really comfortable with this choice, because I can find records that match in one way or another; I don't want to create knowingly a duplicate record.
