Question on Cataloguing Graduate Thesis
Every year our library receives a single binding which includes copies of all graduate theses submitted and accepted for various degree programs. The question has arisen: Where/how do you catalog multiple graduate theses in a single binding in dewey/loc/foobar? Although the immediate problem begs separate bindings for each thesis, this will probably not happen. Besides, there would be nearly 40 volumes which would not follow that format in any case. Our cataloguers would be very appreciative of any pointers, suggestions, etc. Kind Regards, Chris
Chris, I don't know how in depth you want me to go here. Your best bet is to use Analytics (which are meant for this very thing). So you catalog the bound edition as '2013 graduate theses' or some such title). Then you catalog each individual theses and link them to the whole. Here's a start on how that works: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.12/en/cataloging.html#cataloganalytics Nicole On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 11:45 AM, Chris Nighswonger < cnighswonger@foundations.edu> wrote:

Thanks Nicole! Several suggested using analytic records, so I think this is the way they will be going. One other question: Could someone familiar with Dewey suggest where to catalogue the bound volume? Kind Regards, Chris
Under DISSERTATIONS. 378.2, 808 or 050. Otherwise the librarian should know exactly where to place this. Either by topic; dissertations or subject. On 8 April 2013 14:15, Chris Nighswonger <cnighswonger@foundations.edu>wrote:

Sorry people, I was thinking of classification under DDC in the actual library and not in Koha, creation of MARC records (cataloging module). That's the problem of being both librarian and IT coordinator. On 8 April 2013 14:46, Chrispin Simasiku Sitali <libsitali@gmail.com> wrote:

No need to apologize. We were looking for answers to both questions. DDC is anything but obvious at times. Kind Regards, Chris
Not that I'm an expert, but here's what I would do. Create a title for the 245. List each title in a separate 505. Lenora

IANAC (I Am Not A Cataloguer) for for LCC, I know of a library that catalogues all its (individual) theses under AS741 (Academies and learned societies - By region or country - Oceania - New Zealand) rather than the individual subjects. For example: AS741 VUW TC 27 (the 27th masters in chemistry) AS741 VUW PhD TEd 22 (the 22nd doctorate in education) It looks like AS22 is the equivalent for USA. Something similar could be done for bound volumes, and presumably for Dewey too (378.2? 011.75? 378.071?) David
