I'm a copy cataloger at a large midwestern university, and lately I've been noticing books coming in with "2007" publication dates. From what I understand about copyright law, the publication date indicates the date that the book is to be made available to the public (as opposed to printing dates or copyright dates). Is it just a matter of getting a book out sooner than anticipated? Are there any legal problems if a book is made available sooner (or later) than its offical publication date?

Isn't it a little ironic that..?

.. some anti-depressants can cause suicidal thoughts?

I find it sad that the possible side effects of many medications can often be worse than the thing they're meant to be preventing.
