Renee,

I would put "date of broadcast" in <dateCaptured> since it relates to 033 and 518. Not sure what you mean by "date of composition." Do you mean the date the composition was published? In that case I'd use <dateIssued>. Or do you mean when the composer composed the work * then perhaps use <dateCreated>. Just a suggestion.

The 6XX fields can be placed in <subject> with the subelement <name> and appropriate type: 600 is type=personal, 610 is type=corporate and 611 is type=conference.

Hello,

I've been looking at MODS as it relates to music materials, and I have a few questions:

* I'm wondering exactly where one puts Date of Composition and Date of Broadcast. I'm assuming this information goes in <dateOther>, but perhaps Date of Composition could go in <dateCaptured>?

* How does one account for 600/610/611 $t? This would be rare with scores and sound recordings, but it's possible that an item might contain enough information about a work to justify such an entry.

Thanks very much for your help.

Renee McBride
