Creating a Holdings Record: Create new holdings records for each copy using the appropriate cataloging location in Voyager. The Voyager OPAC will display the cataloging locations in alphabetical order regardless of the order in which the locations are created. Circulating copies are classified based on subject. The Holdings records for both the Archival and Circulating copies will also have an 843 field, designating them as print items. If the thesis has multiple parts, create an 866 field in the holdings record and indicate the scope, e.g. v.1-2. Anchor A2 A2

Holdings record for circulating copy: Add the circulating copy (the book the approval form) as the second location to the library that predominantly supports the instruction and research in the discipline of the degree of the thesis. Consult Thesis Classifications for the location and classification number for each degree program. The degree program of each graduate is given in the Advanced Degrees Conferred list. The call number for the circulating copy includes the word Thesis, the classification number, the year, and the book number, followed by oversize symbol if appropriate. Most theses are 29 cm. Consult the Oversize Chart for each location. As above, the Holdings for the circulating copy will also have an 843 field designating it as a print-format item.Anchor A2b A2b
