[Evergreen-reports] Publication year average

[Miller, Jeremy]

For shelf lists (including some for weeding that include CREW method calculations), I use the pubdate field from reporter.materialized_simple_record.  That would probably work.

Hello all,

We're wrestling with the idea of reporting the average publication year
for a set of items on certain shelves. As we all know, the publication
year comes out of the MARC, and includes lots of non-digit characters
like copyright symbols, brackets, parenthesis, etc. So it would seem we
can't use that for an average. What is everyone else doing for this? Or
are you?
