Before creating a new bibliographic record, search for the author's name in Voyager. If found, use the established form as the heading. Otherwise, use the form of the name found on the title page. Add the author's birth date if it can be found easily (often in the biographical sketch page, usually on p. iii). If there is a conflict between an established heading and the form of the name found on the title page, e.g. a manifestation of two different forms of the name, or any indication of a name change, copy the source page(s), i.e. title page, approval sheet and/or biographical sketch, for resolution by Database Quality staff responsible for authority control. A new bibliographic record is created in Voyager by using the thesis template, which can be edited as appropriate to reflect changes in years or degrees.

The following Leader LDR field values are supplied by the template and will not need editing.

Creating the Book Cutter:

  Each Each thesis is shelflisted shelf listed in such a way that the degree sits alphabetically with other degree recipients of that same year. Determine the filing position of the work and use the LC Cutter Table to create the cutter number. The letter part of the cutter number is the first letter of the author's last name or the title in the case of no main entry for Engineering Library project reports. Always use a three digit cutter to allow room for later degree recipients of the same year. Ensure that the cutter is unique, and to the extent possible, shelved alphabetically. However, don't recall theses to make adjustments to the alphabetical order within a given year. Assign a call number to each copy, taking care to write proper location in the book. ARCH is the correct designation for all archival copies (852 |b rmc,anx). Barcode each volume and create the item record (item status for the archival copy = nocirc). If the thesis is a multi-volume, create an item record for each volume according to CUL guidelines. Accompanying materials are processed according to the guidelines for each cataloging location. Occasionally, a pocket needs to be created to hold CDs, DVDs, drawings, etc.
