•Enter a thesis note in field 502 (Dissertation Note). Examples:

•If you are cataloging a copy from a commercial producer and a record exists for another copy in the same medium (photocopy or microform) from the same producer, use the existing record, even if the date of reproduction differs. Since such theses are copies, cataloging rules allow the dates to vary from earlier copies. In such cases, if date information would be the only change, do not create a new record.

•If you are cataloging an unbound photocopy, create an item record without a barcode. The barcode will be added when the volume is returned from the bindery.

•Optional. If you describe a reproduced thesis in field 533 (Reproduction Note), you may enter a Ctry code for the place of reproduction in field 539 (Fixed-Length Data Elements of Reproduction Note) subfield ‡d (Place of publication, production or execution). You may also enter date information for the reproduced thesis in field 539 subfields ‡a, ‡b and ‡c. Such information is based on the data in field 533. See field 539 for more information.
