    A 2 or 4 digit year is required. You must mark the field blank if you cannot determine the year.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, although, I have done "Indexing"; but, I am NOT an "Indexer", 'per se' ... ]

    Question: Does the 'Field' ALLOW you to include a "Leading Zero"?

    eg. "0744"; as opposed to, just "744".

    Or, does such a "Leading Zero" (when input/entered) just get IGNORED by the "System"?

    One would expect that, the "System" SHOULD accept "Years" that are less than x3 Digits; although, I would consider that, there would NOT be too many (remaining) "Documents" around, with a "Year" less than x4 Digits.

    Plus ...

    IF, (when) one enters a "Year" less than x4 Digits; THEN, the "System" should simply ask a question whether that "Year" is CORRECT; and, if, one's answer is 'Yes'; then, the "System" should accept and record such.

    Just my thoughts, in passing.

    ps: It is very SAD indeed, if a "very" IMPORTANT thing; such as, a "Year", should have to be left as "Blank"

    The year is 1744. They skipped the thousand because it had applied for seven centuries already, so they figured it was completely self-evident.

    To follow the indexing instructions, you should enter either "44" or "1744".
