Francis, just want to share with you what we do - which is to ignore 008. We just change zebra configuration to use 260c instead of 008 where required.
Thank you, Sirohi, for the inputs. Will explore your suggestion. Regards, Francis

Field 008 has been generated by the MarcEdit tool. Should it be substituted with 260$c using the same tool? I did look up the LoC site to have a better understanding of the field 008. It says character position 07-10 as Date1. Could you please let me know as to what does 'Date1' refer to?
"Date 1/beginning date of publication" -- pls see <http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/um07to10.html#part10> -- for books (rather than serials, which can also have an "ending date of publication") this date is most often the same as 260$c (for a full discussion of 260$c and 260$g, see <http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd260.html>.)

Thank you, Paul, for the clarification and also for the pointers. Its still not clear to me as to how should the value of 260$c be assigned to the positions 7-10 of field 008?
Thanks and regards, Francis
