Policy and formulation
The 264 field is used in records that conform to the RDA cataloging standard (at the Folger, this is used to catalog modern materials). It is also used in records that conform to DCRM(G) and DCRM(MSS), rare cataloging standards for visual materials and manuscripts.
The DCRM(B) standard, used for descriptive cataloging of rare books, was developed for use with the AACR2 standard, and as such uses the MARC 260 field rather than the MARC 264 field.
