Use on all new RDA records.
UNPUBLISHED MATERIAL:
264: 0: ‡c [1960]
REGULAR SINGLE VOLUME MONOGRAPH:
264: 1: ‡a Anyplace : ‡b Publisher, ‡c 2012; OR, if identifying rather than recording a date of publication:
264: 1: ‡a Anyplace : ‡b Publisher, ‡c [2012]
SINGLE VOLUME MONOGRAPH WITH OPTIONAL COPYRIGHT DATE:
LCPS 2.11: “Record a copyright date for a single-part monograph if neither the date of publication nor the date of distribution is identified.” But generally, you WILL identify a date of publication, even if in square brackets with/without a question mark, so you probably won’t be using this example often.
264: 1: ‡a Anyplace : ‡b Publisher, ‡c 2012.
264: 4: ‡c ©2012
**No period at end of 264: 4:
SINGLE VOLUME MONOGRAPH WITH RECOMMENDED COPYRIGHT DATE:
LCPS 2.8.6.6: “If the copyright date is for the year following the year in which the publication is received, supply a date of publication that corresponds to the copyright date.”
Title page verso: ©2009
Item received in 2008
Date of publication not given
264: 1: ‡a Anyplace : ‡b Publisher, ‡c [2009]
264: 4: ‡c ©2009
SINGLE VOLUME MONOGRAPH WITH OPTIONAL STATEMENT OF DISTRIBUTION:
* *264: 1: ‡a Anyplace : ‡b Publisher, ‡c 2011.
264: 2: ‡a Some Place : ‡b Distributor’s Name, ‡c 2012.
SINGLE VOLUME MONOGRAPH WITH REQUIRED STATEMENT OF MANUFACTURE:
LCPS 2.10: “If manufacture data elements are being given in lieu of missing publication and missing distribution elements, give a complete manufacture statement.”
* *264: 1: ‡a Anyplace : ‡b [publisher not identified], ‡c 2011.
264: 3: ‡a Some Place : ‡b Manufacturer’s Name, ‡c [2011]
The words “publisher not identified” in the 264: 1: trigger the Cascading Vortex of Horribleness, forcing you to record additional elements in the 264: 2: or 3: if present.

264: 1: ‡a [Yangon] : ‡b Pansodan Books, ‡c 2012.

_**LCPS 2.11: “_It is not required to record copyright dates for multipart monographs, serials, and integrating resources.”
