<p class="MsoNormal">We use 't' for manuscripts. In addition to the methods you've described, they can be distinguished from theses and dissertations in our catalog (Alma/Primo) by giving them a separate material type. There are separate material types for
Manuscripts and Theses, which can be used as search limiters in the Advanced Search options.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">We (Yale) are reluctant to use code "t" for type of record, for fear that it will conflate such manuscripts with dissertations and theses (which are also coded "t") in our public
catalog. Does your public catalog give you a mechanism to distinguish such manuscripts from theses? I recognize that the distinction ought to be possible based on the "Nature of contents" code in the 008 fixed field -- where we can flag theses with code "m"
-- but is this a distinction that's made in any OPACs?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">There's also a temptation here to code single-item manuscripts with record type "p" (mixed materials). This is cheating, but it allows an OPAC facet or search limit for archives/manuscripts
to be based on a single fixed field value. *But* it appears that OCLC will not accept records coded "p" and "m"; this is a major drawback, if true.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
