If the place of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture appears on the source of information in more than one language or script, record the form that is in the language or script of the title proper. If this criterion does not apply, record the place name in the language or script that appears first. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Place of production, publication, distribution, and manufacture not identified in the resource | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2.7.2.6) production (2.8.2.6) publication (2.9.2.6) distribution (2.10.2.6) manufacture |
If the place of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture is not identified in the resource, supply the place or probable place of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture as instructed below. Indicate that the information was taken from a source outside the resource itself as instructed under 2.2.4.
Note that according to D1.2.1, "when adjacent elements within one area are to be enclosed in square brackets, enclose each in its own set of square brackets." If neither a known nor a probable local place or country, state, province, etc., of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture can be determined, record Place of production not identified, Place of publication not identified, Place of distribution not identified, or Place of manufacture not identified. Examples: LC-PCC PS: (2.8.2.6) LC practice/PCC practice: Supply a probable place of publication if possible rather than give "[Place of publication not identified]." Known place of production (2.7.2.6.1), publication (2.8.2.6.1), distribution (2.9.2.6.1), or manufacture (2.10.2.6.1) If the place of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture is known, supply the local place name (city, town, etc.). Include the name of the larger jurisdiction if necessary for identification. Examples: Probable place of production (2.7.2.6.2), publication (2.8.2.6.2), distribution (2.9.2.6.2), or manufacture (2.10.2.6.2) If the place of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture is uncertain, supply the name of the probable local place. Include the name of the larger jurisdiction if necessary for identification. If only the local place name is supplied, follow it with a question mark. If the name of the larger jurisdiction is included, and the place of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture is known to be within that jurisdiction, but the locality within that jurisdiction is uncertain, add a question mark following the name of the probable local place. Otherwise, add a question mark following the name of the larger jurisdiction. Example: Known country, state, province, etc., of production (2.7.2.6.3), publication (2.8.2.6.3), distribution (2.9.2.6.3), or manufacture (2.10.2.6.3) If the probable local place is unknown, supply the name of the country, state, province, etc. Example: Probable country, state, province, etc., of production (2.7.2.6.4), publication (2.8.2.6.4), distribution (2.9.2.6.4), or manufacture (2.10.2.6.4) If the country, state, province, etc., of publication, distribution, or manufacture is uncertain, supply the name of the probable country, state, province, etc., followed by a question mark.

(2.7.4.1) producer | inscribing, fabricating, constructing, etc., a resource in an unpublished form Best practices for music cataloging: If deemed useful for identification and access, transcribe producer's name in 264 _4 ‡b. Alternatively, transcribe it in 260 ‡f. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2.8.4.1) publisher | publishing, releasing, or issuing a resource. Treat printers and booksellers of early printed resources as publishers Best practices for music cataloging: Transcribe the names of all publishers appearing on the preferred source. If feasible, transcribe the names of all publishers appearing anywhere in the item. Transcribe in 264 _1 ‡b or 260 ‡b. If an audio/video recording bears both the name of the publishing company and the name of a subdivision of that company or a trade name or brand name used by that company (i.e., a "label" in the case of audio recordings), give the name of the subdivision or the trade name or brand name as the name of the publisher. Note that there is no option to transcribe a publisher name in the "shortest form in which it can be understood and identified internationally." Thus, when in doubt as to whether a presentation of two names in the same source represents a publishing company and the name of a subdivision of that company or a trade name or brand name used by that company, or whether it represents two unrelated publishers, transcribe both names as separate publishers. |

Note that according to D1.2.1, "when adjacent elements within one area are to be enclosed in square brackets, enclose each in its own set of square brackets." Examples: If the date or an approximate date of production, publication, distribution, or manufacture for a single-part resource cannot reasonably be determined, record date of production not identified, date of publication not identified, date of distribution not identified, or date of manufacture not identified. Best practices for music cataloging: 2.8.6.6: Follow LC-PCC PS. Note that copyright date (whether © or ) is a separate element in RDA. It may be used to infer a publication date, but may not "stand in" as one. Give such inferred dates in square brackets. Routinely give copyright date separately, even if it is the same as the stated or inferred publication date. Give both dates in 260/264 ‡c. See 2.11 for guidelines on selecting and recording copyright dates. Examples: If the resource is in an unpublished form (e.g., a manuscript, a painting, a sculpture), record nothing in the date of distribution element. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Copyright date (2.11) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2.11.1.1) A copyright date is a date associated with a claim of protection under copyright or a similar regime. Copyright dates include phonogram dates ()(i.e., dates associated with claims of protection for sound recordings). Copyright date is a core element if neither the date of publication nor the date of distribution is identified. |

Record copyright dates applying the general guidelines on numbers expressed as numerals or as words given under 1.8. Precede the date by the copyright symbol (©) or the phonogram symbol (), or by copyright or phonogram if the appropriate symbol cannot be reproduced.
LC-PCC PS: Record a copyright date for a single-part monograph if neither the date of publication nor the date of distribution is identified. It is not required to record copyright dates for multipart monographs, serials, and integrating resources. Note: According to MARC 21 format for bibliographic data: 008: all materials, 06 - Type of date/Publication status, t - Publication date and copyright date: "Deposit dates (i.e., those preceded by "D.L." (Dépot légal), etc.) may be treated as copyright dates." Examples:
Problematic copyright dates:
If the resource has multiple copyright dates that apply to various aspects (e.g., text, sound, graphics), record only the latest copyright date. Optional addition: Make a note giving the other copyright dates (2.20.10.3) or record the other dates as copyright dates of related manifestations (27.1). |
