Manual
A record of course and assignment materials produced for teaching, including authorship, publisher, edition, and volume details.
The Manual object records course and assignment materials produced for teaching purposes, capturing the work’s title, authorship, and the series in which it was produced.
Publisher, volume, edition, page and volume counts, and publication location, status, and year describe the manual as a discrete publication, and a research classification situates it within the broader structured object model used to describe research and teaching outputs.
