[Heb-NACO] Erroneous date of publication

[Marlene Schiffman]

We catalog as if it's 2019. 10 years from now, the person viewing our catalog will think the librarians were idiots writing 2018 when it says 2019 in the book.

This happens every autumn. Please record the date as given in the book. Anyone who catalogs the book after December 31 will think she/he has a different edition.

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
