Sandra,
  Our library uses DRA classic, which also uses dates for each issue.  In
cases where the publication does not give a date, we assign a date that
reasonably corresponds to its frequency: ie. 1/15/02, 1/30/02 etc. for
bimonthly publications or 03/2002, 06/2002 etc. for quarterly.

Hope that helps,
