Guidelines for Receiving Theses and Dissertations at UFC
The University Library (BU) collects and disseminates theses and dissertations defended at the University through the Institutional Repository (RI) and the online catalog (Pergamum), both publicly accessible. The digital publication of theses and dissertations produced by recognized master’s and doctoral programs is a criterion considered in the evaluation of graduate courses.

Cataloging Record
To streamline the cataloging in publication process, the UFC Library System’s Standardization Committee offers the Cataloging Record Generation Module. This tool was developed by librarian Felipe Ferreira da Silva from UFC Crateús Campus, based on source code provided by the Library of the Institute of Mathematical and Computer Sciences at USP.
The Cataloging in Publication (CIP) record is a mandatory element in academic works. It describes bibliographic information in detail, such as author, title, publisher, year of publication, ISBN/ISSN, and subjects, following the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR2). The record will be generated based on the data entered by users, who are fully responsible for the accuracy of the information.
