Re: [RDA-L] 264 & end punctuation

I agree. I think that we should either always end in a period *or* never end in a period. But this inconsistency makes things much more complicated than they need to be. Thanks for your thoughts. Julie Moore Fresno State On Wed, Jun 12, 2013 at 10:53 PM, J. McRee Elrod wrote: > Julie asked on

We've been puzzling over this here, too. I could see the logic in it if were only putting a period after the last 264 field, but I'm pretty mystified by putting it after the first but not the second. Although often when you have two fields the first doesn't have a period either, since it ends i

I think many catalogers feel that since the copyright date is present on the resource, they should record it even if they've given an inferred publication date in 264 _1 $c. And some libraries have made it a local core element. If it is present, I always record it. Adam Schiff ^
