Term qualified Date
Why needed It may be necessary to distinguish the date submitted from the date created or issued for theses and dissertations or reviewed articles. Often these resources are not made available at the same time of submission. There are numerous projects in libraries that make available theses and dissertations where this date is important to distinguish.
