Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

Hi Eric- Are you planning on storing the 'normalized' dates for ever in the MARC? i.e. leave the c1900 in the 260$c and have 1900 in another place? I think what you do depends on your ILS and tools. My first reaction would be to stash the date in an unused subfield in the 260. If your system

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

There's some super useful data in the MARC fixed fields too -- more useful than the semi-transcribed values in 260c, although it's also a pain to access/transform to something reasonably machine actionable. Here's the code from traject that tries to get a reasonable date out of marc fixed fields,

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

Is the idea that this new field would be stored as MARC in the system (the ILS?). If so, the 9xx solution already suggested is probably the way to go if the 008 route suggested earlier won't work for you. Otherwise, you run a risk that some form of record maintenance will blow out all your

[CODE4LIB] date fields

I’m looking for date fields. Or more specifically, I have been given a pile o’ MARC records, and I will be extracting for analysis the values of dates from MARC 260$c. From the resulting set of values — which will include all sorts of string values ([1900], c1900, 190?, 19—, 1900, etc.) — I

Re: [CODE4LIB] date fields

Don't forget that it might be duplicative of the 260 but the 008 has "machine readable" date info that may be less specific than the 260 but more uniformly entered (or that's the only place there is a date associated with publication/release). Nate == Nate Trail
