Hi Trisha,
In terms of indexing, Evergreen by default does not index publication
information, even when this information is stored the 260 tag. I think
this decision was probably made so that a search for "little brown bear"
didn't retrieve a bunch of records published by Little Brown.
We have two consortia in Massachusetts that have decided to make a local
configuration to index the 260 and maybe the 264 (not sure on that one).
The magic spells page provides some guidance on how specific MARC tags
can be indexed -

Hi Trisha and Yamil,
For clarification, tag 264 for *publisher* data was developed and part
of Evergreen 2.4 and was subsequently backported to 2.2.9 and 2.3.7 as
well (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1071505).
Indexing publisher information has not been done to my knowledge by
default. We did update the reporter view to include tag 264 for
pubdate (publisher date) so any reports that draw from publication
info reflects either 260 or 264 for publisher data.
The bug that Yamil references deals with other forms of tag 264 for
"Producer, Distributor, Manufacturer, and Copyright" which is noted in
the bug's description. Differentiating between the types of tag 264
is done through the indicator fields. The other issue Yamil mentions
with https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1304462 and the search
results is actually a bug that needs to be addressed as well. Right
now, it's grabbing and displaying any 264 found and potentially
mislabeling it as "publisher" in search results when in fact it could
be other things. Resolving this bug and completing the work for RDA
264 is on my personal short list of code to finish for Evergreen
2.7.0-beta1 next Thursday. Good to get a nudge, thanks Yamil. ;)

Trisha,
As far as I know, and I could be wrong, no version of EG supports the
displaying the (RDA) 264 tag. Jason Stephenson, from MVLC, wrote some
code that takes care of displaying the 264 data on the OPAC for the
full bib display. That code change has not been officially approved to
be added to EG yet. His code inspired a nice debate on how to move
forward with some related RDA and 264 issues, and I guess momentum was
lost. For example, at the time he made his changes public there was a
debate of how to tweak his changes or repurpose his code logic to
allow non-publisher data to show up in the search results. Though
Jason's code seem to perfectly handle the 264 data in the full bib
view, and I have since added his code to my EG 2.5 system.
Add 264 tag values to Record Summary
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1304462
Here is a link to the changes he made to make the 264 data show up in
the full bib view...
http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=commitdiff;h=9cf41dc26c536000dcd1cfe52fdf430accb63093
At this point I am not sure what the status is of searching (indexing)
on the 264 tag.
Coincidentally I was just reviewing Jason's code this week, so I can I
try to help revive his code and help propose additional RDA related
code changes.
I hope this helps,
Yamil
