<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">It is quite common in almanac printing that the date of printing precedes the year for which a given almanac was issued by one year. So, for instance, if the
 imprint date of an almanac is 1760, this might be expressed in the MARC record’s imprint field as “… 1760 [i.e. 1759?]”. My question is, what do people do about the fixed fields to represent both dates? My cloudy memory recalls that the community was considering
 putting in a request to the powers-that-be for a new publication status (008/06) – did this ever get any traction? Thanks. - Karen    <o:p></o:p></span></p>
