[Koha-devel] non-simple publication years?

[Ambrose Li [CCCGT]]

Hi,

I wonder if some other library places a non-simple value in
the publication year field.

Here we occasionally place things like "2000 [民89]" in the
year of publication field (book lists date of publication in
"Republic" date year 89, equivalent to A.D. 2000; we record
both). biblio.copyrightdate is a smallint, which makes sense
but won't exactly work in our case. I wonder what is the
correct way to do this.

Regards,
