Slide 110 Supplied Dates Based on Date of Manufacture
1st example: Supply a date of publication that corresponds to the manufacture date, in square brackets, if it seems reasonable to assume that date is a likely publication date. For books, this means that the item is assumed to be the first printing of the edition. Also record the manufacture date as part of a manufacture statement if determined useful by the cataloger (if an item lacking a publication date contains only a date of manufacture.

2nd example: If the date of manufacture given implies that it is not likely the same as the date of publication, supply a date of publication, in square brackets, using the information provided. Also record the date of manufacture as part of a manufacture statement if determined useful by the cataloger, or record it in MARC field 588 as a Note on issue, part, or iteration used as the basis for identification of a resource (if an item contains only a date of distribution).

Slide 111
This slide shows the progression of having less and less information about probable dates. These five categories are a simplification of what appears in RDA via a series of examples.
| Actual year known | 264 … ‡c [2010] |
| Either one of two consecutive years | 264 … ‡c [2009 or 2010] |
| Probable year | 264 … ‡c [2010?] |
| Probable range of years (“between ___ and ___?”) | 264 … ‡c [between 2008 and 2010?] |
| Earliest and/or latest possible date known (“not before,” “not after,” or “between ___ and ___”) | 264 … ‡c [not before January 15, 2010] |
