[ModLib] New ML Project Starting: Dust Jacket Date Range Project

[Scot Kamins]

Folks,

Darrell Johnson has convinced me to start the Dust Jacket Date Range  
Project.  This project has been suggested by others in the past, but I  
think the time is now right.

Each dust jacket image on ModernLib currently has a single date  
associated with it -- the actual date of the dust jacket scanned in  
(eg 1936) . That date would be replaced by a date range (eg 1934-  
1938) when that dust jacket was actually current. A DJ used for just  
one year would say "1936 only".  If we haven't determined the range,  
the date would remain as it is now -- the date of the DJ actually  
scanned.

Darrell has offered to be the clearing house for all info; he'd  
correlate it and send the info to me. I'd then enter the changes.

All that remains is to figure this out: How do we know how long a DJ  
was used -- that is, the first date it was issued as well as the date  
it was replaced by a different one.

Let the discussion commence [:: he said, somewhat optimistically ::]!
