I cannot help but respond to this.  To change a 440 find to an 830 is a 
total misunderstanding of MARC fields and what they stand for.  To change a 
440 to a 490  1 and have an 830  which would read the very same thing is 
totally wrong.

The 440 field is totally valid. It means: This is the way item is described 
in the book and is traced as such.  A 490 b1 means that is the way it is in 
the book, but we are tracing it differently in an 8XX field.

It is totally amazing to me that III, in their "automatic" authority 
control, cannot keep the 440  field in the record.  I would not my catalog 
"automatically" reconciled this way.
