Searching by Publication Date (PD=) for Non-Numeric Designations

If a source has a publication date that designates a season or month rather than a numeric date, Dialog automatically assigns an eight-digit publication date for consistency. The designations are as follows:

• Spring — YYYY0300
• Summer — YYYY0600
• Fall — YYYY0900
• Winter — YYYY1200
• March — YYYY0300
• August — YYYY0800
• etc.

Example:

?s pd=20020300
      S1    2235  PD=20020300
?t s1/3/1
 1/3/1
