- Abstract
- Library users often need to search for locally produced dissertations and theses by access points, such as advisor or department of origin, that have not been supported in the cataloguing rules or USMARC bibliographic format. In the past, libraries needing to support such non conventional access were forced to use standard fields in unconventional ways. USMARC format integration and changes in OCLC fields have provided opportunities for libraries to bring local practice into conformity with AACR2R and OCLC standards. Reviews the literature of thesis cataloguing and use the evolution of policies at Northern Colorado University Libraries to suggest possible directions for changes in cataloguing practice
