Limiting by Year of Publication

When limiting a search by year of publication, the catalog looks for a four digit number in the imprint field, and, if found, compares it with the date or dates entered by the user.

For a limit by date equal to 1983 (entered as after 1982 and
before 1984), the catalog will find:

  • New York : Mcgraw-Hill, c1983.
  • New York : Mcgraw-Hill, 1981-1983.
  • New York : Mcgraw-Hill, 1985, c1983.
  • New York : Mcgraw-Hill, 1983, c1982.
  • New York : CBS Records, [1983], p1982.

The catalog will not find:

  • New York : Mcgraw-Hill, 1982-1984.
  • New York : Mcgraw-Hill, 198-.
