But not, I think, limited in this case to just Texans.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
Architect Interieur comes with the journal Architect. In 2009, it changed its name to Interieur. When, nearing the end of 2010, we still hadn’t gotten a 2010 issue of Interieur, I did some checking. I went to the website, and lo, the page told me that the quarterly publication had returned to the name Architect Interieur. I wrote to ask if we could get this, and Ebsco answered : Interieur has hanged its name (duh, I just told you that.) Its name is now Architects’ Journal. NO. Let us skip the fact that the website speaks of, and has pictures of the covers of Architect Interieur for 2010. THIS PUBLICATION IS DUTCH. It will not change its name to Architects’ Journal. We do already have a title called Architects’ Journal – it is from Britain. Not to mention how I found issues of Architect Interieur from 2010, in the catalog maintenance queue. Physical issues, in hand. And so, ignoring the complete idiocy of Ebsco (who in a separate situation, concerning American Bungalow, failed to send multiple reported claims for more than a year, and it only came to light after we called the publishers ourselves), we processed the title change on Friday. When I went back and checked the records on Tuesday, I saw that an issue, that should have been sent to the Architecture Library uncoded and unbound to be placed in the Reading Room, had been sent to added copies, bound glue on, and coded that very morning. Let us give serials check in the benefit of the doubt, and that they had done the initial searching before Friday and only found the one early record for Architect Interieur. THE RECORD WAS CLOSED. It had a box on the check in record that said TITLE CHANGE. The check in record recorded the information to trace the following title. For reasons that don’t make sense, that record did say to route issues to Added Volumes, but serials check in did not recognize that this was a blindingly obvious, recorded title change, and didn’t bother to check it in. >:(

Oh, thorn in my side. From this day forth, I will no longer ask if you are looking for the German or English version. For you will always tell me English, and it will always be the German. Not once has it been the English. Just because you speak English, and you’d like it to be in English, does not mean that your citation is for the English. The two editions are not even remotely the same. If you don’t know the answer, the answer is “I’m not sure.”
For Gawdz sake people, you are idiots.
