Several people have written in quoting LC practice (supply a date), or giving other reasons why not to use "date of publication not identified", but I don't think anybody's actually answered Karen's question, which is how to code the fixed fields in a MARC record if you do choose to record the element that way while recording a copyright date, a practice allowed in RDA. I'd be interested in the answer as well.

Supply a date of publication that corresponds to the copyright date, in square brackets, if it seems reasonable to assume that date is a likely publication date. If you supply a probable date, then you don't need to record the copyright date, although you certainly can. So with a c2005 date on your piece, you would do either: 264 _1 $c [2005] Type of date: s Dates: 2005,#### or you could do: 264 _1 $c [2005] 264 _4 $c (c)2005 Type of date: t Dates: 2005, 2005 The LC-PCC PS also says: 2. If the copyright date is for the year following the year in which the publication is received, supply a date of publication that corresponds to the copyright date. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Adam L.
