Hi, Sunny. I know that I can customize the dates for the different
titles, but we are talking about 20,000 different titles.  I don't know
how many of them need to be customized, but most of them that have this
problem seem to be from the Gale databases and Highwire Press.  I was
hoping there was an easier way, but it looks like I either have to take
the high road or leave it alone.
