Publication Status: Additional Guidelines: Beinecke
Use i for a span of known dates or a span of dates qualified by "circa.". Note bulk dates, if appropriate, in subfield ‡g of the 245 (Title Statement).

If all materials in a collection are known or estimated to have the same date, use s, enter the year in Date 1, and leave Date 2 blank.
Use q for a date span qualified by a question mark.
See also Date 1 and Date 2.
Due to OCLC encoding requirements, do not use m multiple dates for records where bibliographic level is c collection.

006 Additional Materials Characteristics
See also:
006: Additional Guidelines: Beinecke
Use 006 fields to include record type codes in addition to code p (Mixed Materials). OPAC search limiting by item type is based on record type codes in the Leader and in any 006 fields present in the record. For example, manuscript material coded p in the Leader which contains substantial photographic material will be found by searches limited to photographic material only if an 006 for 2-D Nonprojectable materials has been included in the record.
See appendix 006 Codes for definitions of commonly used codes. For more information, see the MARC21 Concise Format on the Library of Congress website.
