F. Theses for Music Library
A Doctor of Musical Arts thesis is not the same as a Master's or Ph.D. in music. The latter are treated the same as any other thesis or dissertation. Doctor of Musical Arts theses traditionally have two parts (see note below). One part is text in book format; the other is musical composition in score format. Pt. 2 is not always the score, nor pt. 1 the text. Use part numbers as found on the title pages of the two physical pieces. Before creating the bibliographic records for pt. 1& 2, examine the electronic resource and add a 500 note to indicate that there are 2 parts: the textual portion and musical score componet. Then add a 700 added title entry for whichever part is not given in the 245.
Note: Doctor of Musical Arts theses in 2 parts are for degrees in musical composition. There are also DMA theses that contain only 1 part. These are for degrees in Performance Practice.
Leader values for scores: Type of record: c (Printed music) Encoding level: 7008 values for scores: Composition: zz (Other) Format of music: a (Full score) 300 1 score (iv, 68 leaves) ;|c 29 x 44 cm.
The text will be input in the books format and the musical composition in the scores format. Input the part number in the thesis note field (502) as shown in the examples below for both formats. For oversize notations in the call numbers, see the oversize chart. The appropriate part number is used at the end of the call number for both locations.

G. Project Reports (Engineering Library)
Project reports for Masters in Engineering degrees will be processed similarly to Cornell theses, though there is only one copy and it will circulate.
These reports typically include a number of authors and therefore may have a title main entry. You should follow the guidelines for "rule of three" using a 100 field for the first author and 700 fields for others when the writing responsibility is shared by 1- 3 authors. If responsibility is shared by more than three authors, use a title main entry, include all authors in a 500 note, and provide a 700 field for each.
Instead of a thesis note (502), provide a general note:
500::Master of Engineering project report, Cornell University, [year].
Call numbers for project reports begin with "Project" instead of "Thesis", followed by the call number assigned for each discipline in the Cornell Thesis Distribution List. A decimal ?.12? is added to this call number to differentiate project reports from theses and is followed by the year of conferral, and the book cutter:

H. Senior Seminar Papers (Veterinary Library)
There will be only a single copy of the senior seminar papers and it will not circulate.
Create a bib record according to the general guidelines above. In addtion to the variable fields outlined, include the following fields as appropriate:
Series statement: (title page will vary) 490 1 |a Senior seminar 490 1 |a Senior seminar paper 490 1 |a Senior seminar presentation If there is nothing on the title page, bracket the series information: 490 1 |a [Senior seminar]
520 field (Summary) Include an abstract (may also be found as the "introduction" at the beginning of the paper or "summary" at the end of the paper) in 520 field only if provided. Short paragraph (3-4 sentences) is generally OK in this field. Transcribe as given or edit for succinctness.
Subject access: Subject access will be primarily by title key word. When title does not include reference to the type of animal discussed or subject matter is not otherwise evident (summary may provide an indication of the adequacy of the title), generic LC subject headings should be added by the cataloger. Most senior seminar papers will not require 650s.
Examples of generic LC subject headings:
Dogs [or Cats, Horses, Cattle, Birds, etc.] |x Surgery |v Case studies.
Dogs [or Cats ...] |x Diseases |v Case studies.
Dogs [or Cats ...] |x Wounds and injuries |x Treatment |v Case studies.
Veterinary surgery.
Veterinary medicine |x Diagnosis.
Established series heading: 830 0|a Senior seminar paper (Cornell University. College of Veterinary Medicine)
Local series code: 899 |a vetsem
Create MFHD using Prefix "Seminar" and LC-like classification number SF610.1 to file immediately after theses for the Veterinary Library. Follow class number by conferral year and cutter number, using the LC Cutter Table to create the cutter.
