Yale Dissertations: Added Locations

ADDED LOCATIONS

Under RDA, consider the archival dissertation as separate from its copies. If a photocopy of the dissertation has already been cataloged at full, core, or minimal-level for another Yale library, do not add the Mss&A dissertation as an additional MFHD. If the catalog record for the copy is standard level, derive it and add the 590 field. Change the 260 or 264 tag to 264 _0 and the Leader, Type of Record, to "t" (manuscript language material).

If the dissertation was cataloged at minimal-level as is sometimes done by departmental libraries, check for the following and update if necessary:

LEADER:

• Verify that Type of record is t (NOT a); update if necessary
• change Encoding Level from 5 to 7 <minimal level cataloging standard>

008:

• If necessary, change any "pipes" to blank from the following fixed fields: Date 2 and all fixed fields between Illustrations and Conf Publication.
• If the preliminary record has any value in the Form of item, such as a, change it to: <blank>
• Enter code 0 <zero> in the following fixed fields: Conf Publication, Festschrift, Literary Form, Index

VARIABLE FIELDS:

• Make sure there is an 040 CtY ‡b eng ‡e pn ‡e rda ‡c CtY.
• Review the 100, 245, and 300 fields. See instructions under VARIABLE FIELDS above
• Treat the photocopy as a reproduction. That means: 264 _0 ‡c <date>. No brackets are needed. The 008 date should match the 264 date
• If the record was not created from an RDA template, it is not necessary to add 336-338 fields or to spell out abbreviations in 300
• Do not delete any 590 field entered by the departmental library. Add a 590 for SMLMSS as instructed above.
• Review the 502 field and make sure it follows proper RDA form.

Corrected to RDA form:

If a 533 field was not created, add one following LC-PCC PS for 1.11:
