Cindy,
The claimant is the copyright holder, and I believe the copyright date is
the registration date, but I've never run across a book where the year of
the publication and registration dates disagree. It definitely is not the
creation date. I've run across several books where the year of the creation
date disagrees with the year of the other two dates, and the creation date
was not the one printed in the book. Here's a good example. If you look at
The Broker by John Grisham, you will see a creation date of 2004 and a
publication date and registration date of 2005, then if you check Bookshare
you will see the copyright date was entered as 2005.

-There is an ISBN number, but I didn't note it.
I did check with amazon, barnes and noble and borders,
hoping they'd let us "look inside," but no luck. I did
find the book on the US copyright page, but I find
that hard to understand. Gerald, I know you've looked
at that before; maybe you can translate the following
info.
If claimant means the one who wants the copyright,
it?s Columbia University Press.
If created means the copyright itself was created,
rather thanthe book, then the copyright date is 1989.
But If registered means that?s when the copyright was
registered, that date is 1990. The specific date of
registration is (July 30) is 12 days after the
publication date. so my guess would be that that is
the copyright date, but perhaps you?d better ask

P.S. you don't really need the ISBN number for
bookshare, but if you want to put it in, you can find
the book via the title at any of the above-mentioned
online bookstores and they do give the ISBN number.
Gerald, I read all my posts before answering. I
thought you'd beat me to th LC info, as you did once
before (grin).
