Bob,
I catalog all the theses and dissertations here. First of all, since I
do not have the preferred usage, I never make authority records based on
a thesis or dissertation alone. Furthermore, I also have electronic
access to biographical information for all our graduates, so finding a
year of birth takes about two minutes. So, even though I do not make
authority records, I never make an undifferentiated heading in a
bibliographic record for a thesis or dissertation.
