Subject: Cataloging: 045 Time codes?
[this message is being cross-posted on AUTOCAT]
Can anyone comment on the usefulness of field 045 Time Period of Content to
describe Date of Situation when cataloging in the Map format? I assume the
field would be used only when a 500 Date of Situation note is also present.
If so, do I prefer to use the code in subfield |a, the formatted date in
subfield |b, or both?
