Examples of 655 fields:
Connexion: 655 _7 Dissertations, Academic ‡x UCSD ‡x Biology. ‡2 local MilCat: 655 _7 Dissertations, Academic|xUCSD|xBiology.|2local
NLM Genre both in Connexion and MilCat: 655 _ 2 Academic Dissertations.
Obsolete practice: If a dissertation crossed disciplines (see example), the cataloger added a 690 for each discipline. A 690 was also added for the academic department or program.
Degree in Anthropology and Cognitive Science was given 2 headings:
690 Dissertations, Academic|xUCSD|xAnthropology 690 Dissertations, Academic|xUCSD|xCognitive science
Historical note: All 690 field tags for UCSD dissertation and theses were switch to 655 field tags August/September 2010.
