Title of the text. Transcribe the title of the text (technical report, etc.) from the title page, or if there is no title page, from the cover. Omit initial articles ("the," "a," "an"). For annual reports, add the year of the report if it is not already in the title. For multi-volume works, add the volume numbering at the end of the title, e.g. “Volume 2.” If there is no title, construct one--a brief descriptive phrase based on the content of the document. Use the Additional Title field for other titles.

Use OCLC tag 245, subfield a and b, without subfield delimiters.

Date

Date: searchable = no, hidden = no; required field

The year the text was originally published. If the date is unknown, an attempt should be made to assign an approximate date, using the form "ca." (circa).

Use OCLC tag 260 subfield c, without subfield delimiters or copyright symbols.

Dates

Date: searchable = yes, hidden = yes; required field

If the date in the Date field is a "circa" date (e.g., ca. 1895) or a date range (e.g., 1908-1945), the Dates field contains an expanded version listing each year so that searching will find dates covered by the date range. Five years on either side is the preferred form for circa dates.

Examples
Date: ca. 1910
Dates: 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915

If the date in the Date field is a "circa" date (e.g., ca. 1895) or a date range (e.g., 1965-1973), the Earliest Date field contains the first date in the date range.

Examples

Earliest Date: 1940

Date: ca. 1910
Earliest Date: 1905
