From Adam Schiff:
"We should be demanding that programmers of library automation systems come
up with a solution - how hard is it really to design a system that can
ignore the abbreviation in front of the date for the purposes of sorting?"
Then we should be planning on ponying up relatively significant money to pay
the programmers of library automation systems to come up with a solution. If
your library can afford to do this--as well as making the OPAC changes FRBR
will require--I'm happy for you. Not all libraries enjoy this lofty status.
