| Campus | Local Documentation | Thesauri used | Subdivision policy | Other notes/comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UCSD | http://tpot.ucsd.edu/access/special-collections/sca-genre-terms.html | RBMS (preferred) LCGFT, TGM, AAT | RBMS terms subdivided geographically to state/country (non-US) and chronologically by decade. For California, subdivisions are to the city level. | Reconsidering subdivision practice in light of changes to RBMS thesauri. |
| UCI | UCI Special Collections Genre Form guidelines.pdf | LCGFT, AAT, TGM, RBMS (considered supplemental) | on a heading-by-heading basis (see documentation). Subdivided generally for pre-1900 publications and California publications. RBMS subdivided to State>County>City for Orange County and State>City for other California publications. | Subdividing is done in conjunction with 752. |
| UCB | Genre/Form Term Usage at the Bancroft Library | LCGFT, RBMS, AAT, GMGPC | Subdivided on a case-by-case basis (see documentation). Geographic subdivision is generally done by place of publication/production; exception is "Mystery and detective fiction," which is subdivided by setting. | LCGFT is preferred when the term is identical to RBMS and/or AAT, unless subdivision is wanted. |
| UCLA (Clark Library) | https://guides.library.ucla.edu/c.php?g=180536&p=1191447 | RBMS (preferred), AAT | On a heading-by-heading basis, based on most-used terms (see documentation). | Not sure about the general utility of subdivisions with upcoming use of facets. Haven't discussed this with Special Collections at UCLA. |
| UCLA (LSC) | Informal guidelines | RBMS (preferred), LCGFT, GMGPC, AAT | RBMS and AAT subdivided on a case-by-case basis most notably for early Italians, 19th century English literature, publisher's bindings, and artists' books; GMGPC for photographs and photo albums | Majority are local enhancements to the records |
| UCSC | Currently informal notes; better documentation in progress. | LCGFT, RBMS, AAT, TGM (in digital image collection only) | RBMS terms subdivided geographically to state/country (non-US); for California, subdivisions are to the city level. | We haven't subdivided for chronology in the past, but that may change. |
| UCSF | Informal guidelines | LCGFT, TGM, RBMS (not actively used) | No subdivision policies | |
| UCB-Law | Informal guidelines | LCGFT, RBMS, AAT | Subdivide AAT/RBMS terms for incunabula and manuscripts | With a few exceptions (e.g. dictionaries), the only genre terms used are manuscripts, illuminated manuscripts, incunabula, and the terms that fall under LCGFT's Law materials |
