Special Collections' Hidden Collections In Hornbake Library
This list describes collections which need records in OCLC's Worldcat and the USMAI online catalog. It is a working list and provides a structure for prioritizing the work and showing progress towards work goals.
Dissertations
New submissions are added automatically to DRUM's UM thesis and dissertations collection as they are received from the Graduate School. There may be up to a 4 month delay in the appearance of a thesis/dissertation in DRUM. Soon after the DRUM submission, the PDF is sent for printing and binding and cataloged for the Maryland Room with a MARC record in OCLC's WorldCat and UM Libraries' Catalog.
