[Evergreen-catalogers] FW: [Bug 1836097] [NEW] Wishlist - automatically set the 008 date correctly for a new MARC record

[Elaine Hardy]

Thanks for the heads up! Since PINES does all original cataloging in OCLC,
this one doesn't effect us but it is necessary for those that do original
within their local catalogs
