General Notes:

• if both the original and a renewal copyright date have been provided on a resource, then the last two paragraphs at 2.11.1.3 tell us to record only the latest date; I recommend also adding the renewal statement as a Note on Copyright Date, e.g., “Copyright 1934, copyright renewed 1962”)
