Re: Response to LC Proposalfor Simplification of Rules for RDA Area 4 (A.14), Publicatoin Area

[Steven Bernstein]

So according to this we would transcribe the current year 
as follows:

  Tav-Shin-Samekh-Gershayim-Hey [765, 2004 or 
  2005]
Since the dates we generally deal with are neither in 
Western-style Arabic numerals nor of the Gregorian or Julian 
calendar.
Is my understanding accurate?

  Simplification of Rules for RDA Area 4 (A.14), Publicatoin Area
  
  Dear Group,
   
  The Libray of Congress has submitted a proposal 
  for simplification of rules to the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of 
  AACR3 (a response to part 1 of draft of AACR3 [now RD])} :"The principle, stated in LC’s response to 
  the part I draft of AACR3, of transcribing what is presented in the resource 
  without modification is also incorporated in this 
  revision." 
   
   In light of our recent discussion on 
  transcription of Hebrew dates at the R&S Cataloging Commitee meeting 
  I suggest that you look at the recommendation for A.14E. If you have 
  comments on this, please send this to me by July 13. I will send a 
  response to the Joint Steering Committee.
  Thanks, Heidi

  A1.4E. Date. 
  
  a) For published resources, transcribe the date 
  in which the resource was published as it appears on the resource, usually 
  only as year(s).   
  
  i) Date not in Western-style Arabic 
  numerals.  Add the year(s) in 
  such numerals in square brackets as needed for 
  comprehensibility.
  ii) Date not of the Gregorian or Julian 
  calendar.  Follow it with the 
  year(s) of the Gregorian or Julian calendar in square 
  brackets.
  iii) No publication date on the 
  resource.  Record a date in 
  the following order of preference: copyright date (indicated as such; use the 
  latest if there is more than one); date of manufacture (indicated as such); 
  supplied date in square brackets; approximate date in square 
  brackets.
   
      
  b) For unpublished resources or assembled collections, 
  record the date of production or assembly.
