[Heb-NACO] Erroneous date of publication

[Kuperman, Aaron]

I suggest that this refers to situations such as a current publication with a fictitious date (e.g. "How RDA destroyed cataloging", imprint 2030, copyright 2018) or a typo, not a situation whereby the printer got done early and a book with a 2019 imprint was already being distributed in 2018 (which you could show with an extra 2018 in the distribution field).  Do you really expect catalogers to check library's invoices to make sure that the book was actually published in the year indicated on the title page (or to check catalogs to make sure it was already on the market at the time the t.p. indicates)?

Here is the RDA rule that supports Bob's suggestion:




If a date of publication as it appears on the manifestation is known to be fictitious or incorrect, make a note giving the actual date (see 2.17.7.3[http://access.rdatoolkit.org/images/rdalink.png]<http://access.rdatoolkit.org/document.php?id=rdachp2&target=rda2-9110#rda2-9110>).--RDA 2.8.6.3

My only addition to Bob's solution is to add a ? to the bracketed inferred date because we do not for certain that it was published in 2018,



Thanks Bob.

How should we deal with items with wrong date of publication?



We received a book (NOT in Hebrew) with a 2019  publication date; some libraries got it even earlier in 2018. Should we just transcribe the information the way it is and add a note? Add the correct date in square brackets?



Thanks,



Rachel
