The cataloger needs to determine (or estimate) the real date of
situation and not use the date at which the publisher presumably plans
to issue a new edition.  A map you have in hand now that says "Laufzeit
12/2007" is should have a date of something like [2004?] or [2005?] with
the "Laufzeit" in a note.  Might be a good idea to include a note saying
"Publication date based on date of receipt."

Hi colleagues.
I do the original cataloging of maps at UCSC, and have a question about
selecting the date to use in the map call number when the map says
"Laufzeit" and a year.
Today I am cataloging the map Mitteleuropa, autokarte, a Freytag, Berndt
und Artaria map. ISBN 3850842169 (brings up several records in OCLC).
On the map margin is "Laufzeit 12/2007".
I question using 2007 as the date in the map call number, but the note says
Laufzeit [good through] 2007. Ordinarily I would use the date, I guess I
hesitate since 2007 is 2 years ahead.
Typically I might receive a map in 2005 with the note "Laufzeit, good
through, 2005" on it, so there isn't a conflict in that situation.
Any input will be appreciated.
