Dear Jil
At biab we are moving towards full compliance with FRBR/RDA and will record each manifestation separately. In case you haven't seen it, the RDA FAQ below might be helpful?
Kind regards

4.11 How will multiple manifestations of the same title be handled in RDA (the "multiple versions" issue)? Will RDA recommend that we use one bibliographic record for all manifestations of the same title, will it recommend that we use a separate bibliographic record for each manifestation of a title, or both?
These questions address current practices in cataloguing multiple manifestations of the same title. There are two primary techniques in use for doing this. The first is to create a separate bibliographic record for each manifestation (as in AACR2 and RDA), and bring these records together when displaying them to users. The second involves using the same bibliographic record (most often that of the print manifestation) for all manifestations of a title.
The technique of using a single record for all manifestations was developed as a way of presenting a library's holdings of a particular title to users in a usable and meaningful display. Although the practice of describing multiple manifestations on a single record is widely used, it prevents libraries from sharing data effectively. Bibliographic records that combine data about more than one manifestation cannot be used by other libraries without substantial editing to remove the information about versions not held locally. This single record technique was developed before the FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) model was created.
In the FRBR model, the attributes of a resource are grouped in four levels: work, expression, manifestation, and item. Work and expression level records can be used to collocate manifestations in way very similar to uniform titles, but with greater precision than possible previously. These records can then be used to create usable and meaningful displays for users, while still ensuring that libraries can share data effectively.
RDA, like AACR, will recommend the use of a separate record for each manifestation. Although the technique of using a single record for multiple manifestations of the same title will be mentioned in RDA's General Introduction, RDA will not provide any guidance for its use.

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] Referencing online publication of articles
Colleagues
Can I seek advice on a referencing issue please?
It relates to the early online publication of articles, which are then later
published in hard copy form, often several months later, sometimes even in
different year. My researchers are in confusion over how to deal with the
referencing/listing of these articles - does one reference the online
publication and then change it to the hard copy reference, does one include
both or what?
Any information relating to any standard practice/guidleines on this
gratefully received.
Regards
Jil
