If the date of publication and copyright date are the same and both are recorded, then it is correct to code the Date type as t and give both dates in the Dates fixed field. The LC-PCC Policy Statement for 2.8.6.6 shows just such an example: Title page verso 2009 Item received in

AACR2 requires to record publication date and copyright date if they are different. But RDA does not have the same rule. So in AACR2 records, we see different dates in 008 field, and would not see the same dates appearing. But in RDA records we can see the same dates in 008 field. Joan Wang On

Honestly, I doubt patrons will, or ever do, think about who puts the data in the catalog, at all. That said, when the new 264 fields were implemented we changed our display (running Aleph v.20) so that is reads Publication: for 264:x1: and Copyright: for 264:x4:. (Which by the way we were

Hmm. Could be right. However, if III, our system here, could read a MARC record directly, we might not have this problem. Our 260 displays just as we record it. So, what will a patron think, when he/she sees 1999, c1999. Why include both dates when one will do. On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 1:29 PM,

In a 260, you would not repeat the date (1999, c1999) because you would be following AACR which does not repeat the date: Field 260 is useful for cases where the content standard or institutional policies used do not make a distinction between functions--
