For reference types where more than the year is required, I have always input the Date (in "Month Day, Year" format) in the Date field, and I have noticed that Bookends seems able to parse this to get the year only if necessary. So I'm wondering why there are separate Access Date and Access Year fields?
Thanks,
Rick
Access Date & Access Year in Internet reference type
Hi rickl,
No. Bookends is smart enough to identify a year (and if year-only in the format is checked, will use just that). But otherwise there are just too many ways of writing out month and day (not to mention in each language). If you really need to identify these data independently of the year, you can devote a user field to this (as Bookends does for the Newspaper Article Type, for example: Mon & Day).
