Hello - I have a question for Spectrum users.  When you use Easy
Entry screen for Marc, where do you place the original copyright
date? Our problem has surfaced where one person was cataloging using
the most recent date on the book - thinking that was the date that
should be used since the screen prompted published information about
the book.  After talking with a Sagebrush support person, I
understand Sagebrush instructs libraries to create a new Marc record
for any book that has different publishing information.  I can
understand that, but what I wonder about is the place for original
copyright information.  It seems misleading to have students look up
Cry, the Beloved Country and think it is a new book since the
copyright date says 2002.  We can use the expanded Marc record to add
information, but after looking at a union catalog for SE Minnesota
and Library of Congress records, we are finding discrepancies.  What
is your best guess about this issue?
