[DCRM-L] Pagination and Note Questions

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Hi Jenny,

Jane is right that you should create two records for these, since they
were bound together after publication. I would consider not bothering
with signature statements, which have limited utility on records for
imperfect works.

Do be aware, however, that the initial leaves should be counted as "[4]
p." instead of "[2] leaves." See DCRM(B) 5B3.1. (This rule is unchanged
from DCRB, which I do not have handy and so cannot cite.) 

I would probably construct the pertinent fields as follows:

300: [4] p., p. 19-22+ {if the end is also missing}
500: Description based on imperfect copy; p. 1-18 wanting. {DCRM(B)
5B12}
590: Ebling copy imperfect: wanting p. 1-18. Bound with p. 9-21 of
<author, title, and brief publication info of other thesis; DCRM(B)
7B18}

Subject: [DCRM-L] Pagination and Note Questions


I am been cataloging individual medical theses from the University of 
Edinburgh that are bound together by year.

I recently came across a thesis that consists of two non-complete theses

with the same title but different authors bound together as if they were

one complete thesis.

My questions are:

How would I record pagination since I actually have two different and 
non-complete theses (pages 19-22 and pages 9-21)?
    -- Should it be: [2] leaves, p. 19-22, p. 9-21.

How would I document the signatures since I have two different 
non-complete theses bound as if they are one thesis?
    -- I think I would not attempt to record the signatures since they 
are so confusing and out of order.

How would I document a note explaining what the error is and what this 
bound thesis consists of (two non-complete theses)?
    -- Should it be: Mis-bound thesis consists of p. 19-22 of Lachlan 
John Cameron's thesis Dissertatio medica inauguralis de enteritide ; 
Missing p. 1-8.

Thanks so much,
