Oh, no offense taken--i just noticed that it was a Stanford University Press book so i figured it was one of our CIP contributions. And it was probably done under the original test policy. And, i should point out, that not everyone at Stanford is necessarily following the same policy--our local policy is that going beyond the LC-PCC-PS and providing extra information is "cataloger's judgement." So different catalogers may make different judgements. Since i catalog mostly videos and video games, which almost never have publication dates it's my judgement to use the copyright date as well (ok, i'll acknowledge that there is a copyright date controversy regarding video copyright dates, but that is applicable only in a minority of the cases that i see--i don't do that many mainstream commercial videos).

I want to hasten to clarify that I wasn’t trying to point out any institution as doing anything wrong or nonstandard. Merely citing an example (of a record that looked to be done by the rules but rules that were confusing me). Getting the blow-by-blow as it were of the decisions & how they evolved, helps enormously for those of us who are coming to this later, with smaller departments & trying to make sense out of the variously clearly well-cataloged but different, RDA records. //SIGNED// Patricia Fogler Chief, Cataloging Section (AUL/LTSC) Muir S.
