Final answer:
The claim that theses written by students when the University of West Georgia was known as 'West Georgia College' will not appear in the UWG library catalog search using the current university name is false. Catalog records are usually updated to reflect name changes, aiding users in retrieving all relevant materials. The correct option is B) False
Step-by-step explanation:
If you search the UWG library catalog using the term "University of West Georgia", the assumption that you will not get theses written by students when UWG was known as "West Georgia College" is false.
Library catalogs are typically designed to manage and retrieve information efficiently, regardless of the institution's past names.
When institutions undergo name changes, good library practice involves updating the catalog records to reflect both the current and previous names to ensure that users can retrieve all relevant materials.
Hence, catalog records for theses written during the time when the institution was known as 'West Georgia College' should also be retrievable when searching for 'University of West Georgia', as they would have been updated to include references to the current institutional name. The correct option is B) False
