Cutter ABOR, and; Coursework masters on CD only

: we do not want to risk any offence to indigenous Australian by using Cutter ABO in call numbers. I have updated the call number manual (under p.2 Cutter) with the following exception: Indigenous Australians For works with titles or topics referring to Aboriginal Australians, where the first three letters of the Cutter would be ABO, instead use ABOR – this is in line with SLWA practice. 2. We have received the first instance of a Coursework Masters being provided on CD only. In parallel with our procedures for Final Year engineering these, we will catalogue these as non-print records. The main difference with the engineering theses is just that, like printed coursework theses an 082 field, note field for coursework thesis, and cat date added for ftp to LA. From email 9/913 RO
