I wasn't talking about the copyright of theses.
In terms of theses: author cites New York : Harper, c1961
Catalog record reads 264 New York : Harper, [1961]
264 c1961
Thesis advisor checks citation and notes the [1961].
Calls in author. Our catalog says it was published in 1961, are you sure
you want to keep c1961.
That is what says in the book, says author.
Hmm, says advisor, I wonder why we have [1961] and where did it come from?
AACR2: New York : Harper, c1961
Which one is clearer and not liable to misinterpretation by users
(non-catalogers)?
