Demian Katz added a comment - 16/May/13 12:20 PM The initial strategy we’ve come up with at Villanova is to only worry about 264 fields with indicator 2 set to 1 (publication) or 4 (copyright) – and publication will trump copyright if both exist. For now we’re ignoring production, distribution and manufacture – we’ll figure out what to do with these if there seems to be an actual use case for them. If multiple dates are involved, we’ll pick the earliest one for sorting purposes. In summary: - If publication and copyright date both exist, prefer publication date - If two dates of the same type exist, prefer the earlier date It is going to take some custom programming to implement this routine, and I’m going to hold off on writing the code until I have a good set of sample data. If you have any real-life MARC records with detailed 264 records and don’t mind sharing them, that might help me get started -- feel free to post them here. Otherwise, I’ll wait until they start appearing on our end.
