Joan Wang asked: >in the definition, does "the typescript copy" cover print-outs?
Since print-outs are from a published electronic version, we consider them published. The distinction is not all that vital; all it changes is the 264 2nd indicator. >For the online theses, probably the university can be considered as a >publisher? Yes. We consider University Microfilms to be a manufacturer (260$e$f$g) in AACR1, and a distributor in RDA (264 2). >In the fixed field, there is a "s" after GPub. How can I understand >that it is a state-level publication? MARBI made the mistake (which they never corrected despite several appeals), of considering publications of state university presses as government publications. That renders the fixed field useful for identifying state publications. Fortunately most do not treat Canadian Provincial university press publications in that way. I think we should all ignore that MARC provision; it helps nobody. __ __ J.
