| − | AACR2 used latin abbreviations for the 260 $a and 260 $b when either the place

| − | of publication or publisher name were not available. With RDA, new phrases
| + | |
| − | have replaced these Latin abbreviations.

| − | ===month names===
| + | |
| − | With RDA, names of months of the year are not to be abbreviated in the 260.
| + | |
| − | This rule uses the same month abbreviation table as is used for the X00/X10/
| + | |
| − | X11/X30 fields (see Step 4.2):

| − | ===geographic names===
| + | |
| − | Geographic place names (e.g. states, countries, etc.) should no longer be
| + | |
| − | abbreviated. MARS 2.0 uses a list of many different geographic terms and their
| + | |
| − | common abbreviations which will be expanded:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===department===
| + | |
| − | As with the X10/X11 fields, dept. should no longer be abbreviated in the 260
| + | |
| − | field; it is to be expanded to department. The Library of Congress is currently
| + | |
| − | keeping department as an abbreviation:
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | </font>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===ca.===
| + | |
| − | In the 260 $c and $g, ca. is no longer used to represent circa or approximately.
| + | |
| − | Instead, a question mark ? should be added after the date:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <font size="3">
| + | |
| − | '''original field''':
| + | |
| − | 260 $a London : $b O. Hodgson, $c <font color="red">[ca. 1830]</font>

| − | '''updated field''':

| − | 260 $a London : $b O. Hodgson, $c <font color="red">[1830?]</font>
| + | |
| − | </font>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===dashes representing unknown numbers===
| + | |
| − | With AACR2, a dash could be used to represent an unknown number within a
| + | |
| − | date. In using RDA, the dash is no longer used. A range of dates encompassing
| + | |
| − | the unknown number should now be used.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If there is a question mark included in the date, the question mark should
| + | |
| − | remain at the end of the date range:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <font size="3">
| + | |
| − | '''original fields''':

| + | |
| − | 260 $a London : $b J.T. Pickburn, $c <font color="red">[between 1800 and 1899?]</font>
| + | |
| − | </font>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===printing/pressing/copyright/phonogram===
| + | |
| − | Printing or pressing dates should now be enclosed within square brackets with a
| + | |
| − | question mark at the end of the date.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When either a c or p is the character right before a date, they should be changed
| + | |
| − | for either the copyright symbol © or phonogram symbol ℗.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If only a copyright date is included, RDA dictates that [place of publication not
| + | |
| − | identified] should be added:
