[Heb-NACO] hebrew dates in 264 redux

[Ahava Cohen]

The dates on the covers of books have legal standing in Israel. According
to paragraph 5b of the Books and Authors Law publishers must put the date
of printing (publication) of the first edition of the book on the outside
cover of print versions. The law was recently amended and it is unclear if
publishers will continue providing this date past September 2016.
For what it's worth, the Israeli national cataloging committee recently
ruled that this date may be used as a publication statement in the absence
of an explicit publication statement, but that the cover is a less
preferred source than are the title page and title page verso. This date
does not, despite the wording of the law, serve as an edition statement in
and of itself.

	Following our committee meeting, and to be sure I have it straight,
please confirm that PCC now follows LC and we are to supply non-Latin
script for Hebrew dates in the vernacular 264 (and Arabic dates  in rom.
264). 
	Also, I’m noticing many cases when the date appears on the back of the
book, e.g. יולי 2015, the bib record disregards that information and
only records  what appears on the t.p. verso (typically ©תשע"ה,
©2015, or ©יולי  2015]), so bibs currently have 2641 [775 = 2015] or
[775 = Yuli 2015] with a 2644 for the © dates.   Shouldn’t it just be
2641 Yuli 2015 (and vern 2641 יולי 2015) with fixed fields DtSt e/Date
1 2015/Date 2 07? 
	Thanks, Jasmin
