After re-reading this note I thought I should jump in with a quick
word about Patricia's questions on the DtSt situation for
reproductions. Yes, since the call number and usually 260$c
information uses two dates, one for the original or date of situation
if known, and one for the reproduction itself, the DtSt fixed field
would be coded "r".
