Under 2.8.6.3 there is an example May 2000. Under 2.8.1.4 "Record dates of publication applying the general guidelines on numbers expressed as numerals or as words given under 1.8." Under 1.8.2 the instruction is to record numerals in the form preferred by the cataloging agency. Current LC practice in the LCPS is to record the numerals as found unless the numbers are expressed as words. For names of months, the general rule is to transcribe as found in publication statements. I believe ISO8601 would only apply in authority records in 046.

Does anyone have examples they can share with us? We were wondering what would be best practice for the date format in $c. Should the date be in ISO8601 format (with or without dashes), 1st July 2012 or just the year? e.g. 264 .1 ‡aCardiff, Wales :‡bHTV Wales,‡c19880108 or 264 .1 ‡aCardiff, Wales :‡bHTV Wales,‡c1988-01-08 or 264 .1 ‡aCardiff, Wales :‡bHTV Wales,‡c8th January 1988 or 264 .1 ‡aCardiff, Wales :‡bHTV Wales,‡c1988 Many thanks, Vicky Digital Standards Manager National Library of Wales Aberystwyth, Ceredigion SY23 3BU
