I believe the first solution is exactly what RDA 264 was designed for. I think it's far more confusing to have only the 2014 date when we know darn well we got the book in 2013. Pat

Should the 264 be: 264 1 ...$c [2013] 264 4 4a @2014 Or 264 1 $c [2014] No 264 4 I am leaning toward the second, since many libraries may receive this book in 2014, and the first option might be confusing, since they would not know for a fact that some were distributed in 2013.
