Next question related to this would be could someone point to the place(s) in the source code (since I haven't found it as an option) whereby we could set the publication date column to this when it is unknown? I'm not a fan of it setting the publication date to "today" for every new book - I would much rather it was set to "0000" and only set when an actual date is available in the metadata or you manually type one...
Date is the day you create the Record
Publication_Date is from the Internal Meta-data (or Downloaded)

You might be able to use "Edit_Meta-data in Bulk" to set this (if you must)
BTW The date is probably set by a Trigger or defaults if not set in the DB
