I'm trying to explain the use of a 240 uniform title in a bibliographic record
clearly to my staff. I have a tenuous grasp on uniform titles and welcome any
direction to specific training in depth about the choices of MARC tags in
different situations.
I understand that the title in question
I agree that degree-granting institution doesn't really fit for the
department in which a thesis was prepared, although it's certainly very
useful to record this relationship. There doesn't seem to be anything
else which can be used: Host institution or sponsoring body would
certainly be a far
John,
I think the RDA instruction was probably worded that way to allow freedom to
record whatever feels most useful and to take into account varying amounts of
information available. In most cases it's enough to record the university
name, but some libraries feel very particular about
Mac,
Another of those ambiguous English words. It can mean the teaching
staff of an educational institution. But in this context, it means a
subunit of a university which grants degrees. In other words, the
body which granted the degree should be in 502. $b.

On a related note:
The other day, we were wondering how habilitation theses should be
treated under RDA. These are quite common in Germany. In case you're not
familiar with this European concept:

Since habilitation is not an Anglo-American institution, I would be surprised
indeed if RDA discusses it. (Just to confirm--searching the Toolkit for
habilitation or any of its variants returns no hits.) So I think this is an
area where the (Continental) European cataloging community will have
Heidrun asked:
Have you got a good example for such a school/faculty which actually
grants its own degrees ...
When next in my doctor's office, I will check his degree on the wall.
We will note and trace (500/710) the department, and faculty adviser

If the combination of author + title is identical to another work then a 240
would be needed to differentiate this work from others. Typically only a
year is used, not year month date. You only break the conflict when there
already is one, not when you expect/suspect there will be
Ben,
You're right. We'll try and work something out. One idea which has
already come up is defining an additional element which would express
the character of a thesis instead of a specific degree.
But isn't it amazing how these cultural differences pop up at the most
unexpected places. I
I think we're looking at this a little too closely. This element grew out of a
note in AACR2 practice. It was never intended to be so precise. Note that in
7.9.1.3 it says the name of the institution or faculty to which the thesis was
presented (see 7.9.3) but in 7.9.3 it's granting
Really? Has anyone out there in the industry even noticed? What
*might* get noticed is a change in communication formats, but not in
rules.
This is what I have been thinking about for a
while as I read these discussions:

nobody came, but some other powerful,

It's definitely a faculty, but does it fit the text of the instruction: the
granting institution or faculty?
Hi Adam,
What if you have an entity that has multiple roles, one at the creator level
and the other at another level (e.g. author and publisher)?
Would it be acceptable to use relationship designator for both roles in a 1XX,
