I would generally pick what I think whichever is the most reliable for the 100, but I'd have to know all of the gory details on this one to make a firm recommendation in this case.

Am not sure which way to go on this one, but regardless, . . .

What, then, goes in field 100 $d? The two dates with a slash between them (meaning "or")?

My personal preference is to record two separate 046 fields to represent each possibility, with $v for the source in each. This solution makes it clearer about what you have found. After all, it's not one source stating that there are two possibilities, instead you have two different sources with varying information.

Subject: [PCCLIST] An edtf question

 

Hello, wise ones -

 

I've been clawing my through the LC's edtf instructions and becoming cross-eyed and cross-brained. I'm making a NAR for a person whose birth year, according to one source, is 1598, and according to another source is 1600. How do I indicate this either/or situation in my 046 field?

 

Thank you!

Ann
