Hi everyone,

Speaking of dates (but not Captain Kirk's):

Cataloger's Desktop 2015 Issue 3 was released on August 11, 2015.  This release includes an important update to DCM Z1 instruction sheet 046, Special Coded Dates.

NACO catalogers: please note that the formatting of dates in the 046 field has changed.

When supplying dates in field 046, use the Extended Date Time Format (EDTF) schema in all cases except for centuries; supply dates using the pattern yyyy, yyyy-mm, or yyyy-mm-dd; always add subfield $2 edtf except after a century.  The more consistent use of $2 edtf is based on a PCCLIST discussion suggestion to simplify the use of $2 (always use except for centuries).
Examples:
046 ## $f 1884-10-11$g 1962-11-07 $2 edtf
046 ## $s -0199~ $2 edtf
046 ## $f 1946-06 $2 edtf
046 ## $f 1960 $2 edtf
But:
046 ## $s 20
046 fields in existing name authority records will be reformatted to conform to the new DCM Z1 guidelines during the Phase 3B changes to the LC/NACO Authority File<http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/rda/RDA%20Task%20groups%20and%20charges/RDA-Auth-Phase3-TG.docx>.
The examples in LC-PCC PS 9.3.1.3 will be updated in the October 2015 RDA Toolkit update.
