Field 008 has been generated by the MarcEdit tool. Should it be substituted with 260$c using the same tool? I did look up the LoC site to have a better understanding of the field 008. It says character position 07-10 as Date1. Could you please let me know as to what does 'Date1' refer to?
"Date 1/beginning date of publication" -- pls see <http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/um07to10.html#part10> -- for books (rather than serials, which can also have an "ending date of publication") this date is most often the same as 260$c (for a full discussion of 260$c and 260$g, see <http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd260.html>.)
