`
`
`
`
`BACKGROUND: In 1982, the decision was made to add the publication date to the call number
`of all monographic works. Prior to that date, several formal and informal memos were used as
`guidelines to determine if a date was needed in the call number. This instruction sheet provides
`guidelines on adding the date to the call number for monographic works.
`
`DEFINITION: Publication date refers to the date coded in field 264, second indicator 1,
`subfield $c. Use the publication date to determine the date in the call number unless instructions
`to the contrary are provided below.
`
`1. General rule. Apply the following principles to determine the date to be included in the call
`number.
`
`
`a. Date of publication present. Add the date of publication to all monographs.
`
`Examples:

`
`
`
`1. General rule. (Continued)
`
`
`b. Date of publication not identified. If the date of publication is not identified, then
`use the date of distribution, manufacture, or copyright. Example:
`
`264 #1 $a [Rouiba?] : $b Editions ANEP, $c [date of publication not
`identified]
`264 #3 $a Rouiba : $b ANEP, $c 2010.
`
`use 2010
`
`c. Date of publication incorrect. If the date of publication recorded is incorrect, use the
`correct date if given. Example:
`264 #1 $a Mars : $b ACME Publishing, $c 3033.
`500 ## $a Actually published in 2013.

`
`
`
`
`
`2. Special situations.
`
`
`use 2013
`
`a. Congress or conference headings. If a work is entered under the name of a
`congress or conference and the year appears in the access point, use the date. If a year
`is not present, use the publication date (cf. G 230). Example:
`
`111 2# $a International Congress of Navigation $n (25th : 1981 : $c
`Edinburgh, Scotland)
`
`use 1981
`
`b. Multiparts. Add the date of publication of the first/earliest part (i.e., the earliest
`date found in either the 264 field or the 362 1# field) to the call number, unless the new
`multipart item is in a larger multipart item/monographic series classed as a collection.
`(See the ILS supplement, Workflow #4 for details.) Upon receipt of additional volumes,
`it may be discovered that the date used in the call number is not the earliest date.
`Although earlier policy was to reclass to reflect the earlier date, it is no longer necessary
`to do this.

`
`c. Photocopy or facsimile editions. If the work is cataloged as a facsimile or
`photocopy, add the date of the original edition and the work letter a.
`
`d. Other editions. For later editions of the same work, use the publication date. If
`another edition is received with the same publication date, use work letters starting with
`b. Examples:
`
`.I33 1982
`.I33 1982b
`.I33 1982c, etc.
`
`
`
`e. Corporate authorship. For works entered under a corporate body, use the publication
`date. If another work by the same corporate body is received, use work letters starting
`with b (cf. G 220). Examples:
`
`.R37 1981
`.R37 1981b
`.R37 1981c, etc.
`
`Note: Until 2013 if additional works by the same corporate body were received,
`they were assigned work letters starting with a.
`
`f. Printing dates in the note area. Disregard the printing dates in the note area and use
`the publication date. Example:
`260 $c [1982-<1984>
`500 $a Vol. 1: 1983 printing; vol. 2: 1984 printing.
`
`use 1982

`
`g. Date added to preferred title. When a work is entered under its preferred title and
`there is a date in the authorized access point, use the publication date in the call number.
`Example:
`
`
`
`130 0# $a Census of wholesale trade (1977)
`264 1# $a [Washington, D.C.] : $b U.S. Dept. of Commerce,

`subarranged by date and other elements, add the publication date to the number. Follow this

`b. Classes subarranged by date only. If a work is classed in an area that is subarranged
`by date only, do not add another date to the call number. Instead, add a work letter
`starting with b to the date. Example:

`

`050 00 $a PR5551 $b 1968b
`
`c. Updating loose-leaf materials. Do not add a date to call numbers for loose-leaf
`services that are cataloged as such, with “loose-leaf"” in subfield $a of the 300 field of
`the bibliographic record, and continuously kept up to date. (Not all publications with
`holes punched in pages are “updating loose-leafs.” The term “loose-leaf” appearing
`with an ISBN is not sufficient indication that the publication is an “updating loose-leaf.”)
`
`Note: Although this rule applies to all classes, the vast majority of such
`publications are in Class K.

`
`d. Legal publications in which the final Cutter is selected from a span based on dates.
`For legal publications in which the final Cutter is selected from a span based on dates, the
`date is “built in” to the final Cutter and the further addition of a numerical date is
`superfluous.
`
`For example, in Table KFA-KFZ 30.A2-29, the instruction is to subarrange
`chronologically. The choice of Cutter in the span .A2-29 is based on the date of
`the publication, and the further addition of a numerical date is unnecessary.
`
`050 00 $a KFV2430 1950 $b .A243
`
`
`
`
`
`Note: In the rare cases where it is necessary to distinguish between different
`editions of these types of publications, use successive Cutter numbers.
`
`
`5. Historical information. Until the adoption of RDA in 2013, the publication date was added
`to the call numbers of monographs by using the following principles.
