Title

Finding the missing date : the examples of German imprints without dates

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 24(1997) nos.3/4, S.17-36

Year

Abstract

Cataloguers of monographs are accustomed to finding a publication, copyright or at least a printing date in an imprint on the title page or in a colophon. If no date is found in the 'prescribed source of information', rule 1.4F7 of AACR2 instructs cataloguers to 'supply an approximate date of publication'. Examines efficient ways of doing this, using examples from German publishing. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, German publishers often omitted the year of publication from their imprints. Methods and examples presented are drawn from cataloguing experience at Texas A&M University since 1992, when the library purchased several thousand German books of this period
