If the Field Field Type of Record is p, Mixed material, current policy still seems to be that you may use 264: 0: without subfields a and b, just c.
The problem with these guidelines comes when you have materials that were published, but published in various places by various publishers. CUL used to use a 264 with just a $c and still code the Type of Record as a. OCLC no longer allows us to do it that way. (On very old records, you may see a 264 $b of "various publishers," sometimes abbreviated as "v.p." That is no longer legal).. CUL used to use a 264 with just a $c and still code the Type of Record as a. OCLC no longer allows us to batch upload our records when they have been done that way.
Temporary solutions: (1) Use 264: 0: plain $c but code the Type of Record t. You can justify this by saying that although the individual pieces were published, you are cataloging the set and the set was not published. Or (2), do it the way you want to, and give the printout to Pam, Sarah or Gary to upload into OCLC by hand.
