All new RDA records should have 264 fields not 260; RDA created during test may have either or both fields; AACR2 legacy mostly have only 260. This is all very accommodating, but where is the uniformity of practice? Does it not complicate indexing or conversion? RDA, LC, PCC, OCLC seem not to

I have found no guidance on this in RDA (not saying it's not in there, but searching for copyright or copyright date does not bring it up); so which is preferable? 264:x4:$c (c)1994-2010 or 264:x4:$c (c)1994-(c)2010 Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions, Metadata and

I think since a copyright date must always be preceded by the copyright symbol, your second option would be more correct. But I'd like to see what others think about this. If the resource itself says (c)1994-2010 then perhaps it's ok to transcribe it that way. Then again, doesn't RDA say to

Thanks for the response. There is no single copyright statement for the whole work, just an individual © on each vol. Re: doesn't RDA say to record only the latest copyright date?, the only guidance I could find is 2.11.1.3, If the resource has multiple copyright dates that apply to various

There is something redundant about having a separate element for copyright date, and then including the copyright symbol or other text in the element. That would seem to be make it less machine actionable, if anyone ever tries to do that. But this is a problem that runs throughout our data.

If you care about machine actionable, that (c) character is really annoying to those working on machine access. It's not intractable, it can be dealt with, but it's just one more annoyance in MARC requiring a workaround. Especially in a 264 where the element is already machine identified as a
