Is part of the problem that we use published versus unpublished as a dividing line for textual material but not for other types of material? Typescripts or unpublished items produced with a printing press or even Word documents can be coded as manuscript though they are not handwritten, but the

Mac, With 264 0, the distinction means little in RDA. Only one fixed field and 264 2nd indicator are affected. This is not RDA, it is MARC. I have said for some time that I think that the whole continuum from unpublished to published needs to be rethought in light of the history of the book

I've always had a problem with considering ETDs published, although I understand that for practical purposes it is easier to consider everything available via remote access as published. But I really don't see an electronic dissertation as anything less of a manuscript than a printed one.

Adam I remember that I asked the question before, and got an answer Yes. If we do not consider ETDs published, do we consider them manuscripts? The following is the definition of manuscript from RDA Toolkit: 1) In general, a text, musical score, map, etc., inscribed or written entirely by hand,

Even printed theses by computer have always been considered unpublished manuscripts rather than published textual monographs, so I am not sure that it matters if one has a printout from the computer file or a digital image of the file contents. Theses are produced in one or a very few number

I think that you indicate a very interesting problem. US dissertations have been considered unpublished since universities stopped issuing them with a dissertation note. On-demand microfilms or photocopies are still considered unpublished. On the other hand, most people would consider a
