RDA 4.4: Convert 260 to 264

Rda2-1.png

260 to 264 conversion

As there may not always be an easily identifiable way to distinguish between a publisher and distributor in 260 fields, this proposed conversion from 260 to 264 may not be completely reliable.

Still, as an attempt to transition 260 fields to 264 fields, this potential solution may be worth exploring on your part. Our recommendation is to follow through with this in sampling and then decide whether to keep it in your full processing.

 
 original field:
   260    $a Mason City, Iowa :$b Sunburst Pub., $c c1992.
 
 converted to 264 fields:
   264  1 $a Mason City, Iowa :$b Sunburst Pub., $c [1992]
   264  4 $c ©1992
 
 original field:
   260    $c 2005.
 
 converted to 264 field:
   264  1 $a [place of publication not identified] :$b [publisher not identified], $c 2005.
 
 original field:
   260    $a Berlin :$b N. Simrock ;$a Paris :$b Maison G. Flaxland, successeurs, $c [1908?]
 
 converted to 264 fields:
   264  1 $a Berlin :$b N. Simrock, $c [1908?]
   264  2 $a Paris :$b Maison G. Flaxland, successeurs, $c [date of distribution not identified]

Default

Attempt to convert 260 fields to 264 fields, removing the original 260 fields in the process.
