Hi Mieke, I know with the 008 tag in Evergreen you can click on the line and highlight the 070101 and change it to the current date, e.g., 110625, and then just complete the 008 tag as you normally would, either directly in the text of the tag, or via the table/grid at the top of the MARC Editor screen.
I hope this helps.
