Author name consistancy
xxxx
- Try search Name Authority File (on Connexion), see if there is an authority file established for this author.
- If there is an authority file, use that for the name in 100 or 700 fields in the bib record. This means it can be different from the form in 245 statement of responsibility.
- If there is no authority file made for the name, then, we should keep consistant for that author name (at least in all records created by us).
- It includes name form and year associated, and which name we used (”real” name or psedonym)
For examples,
稲岡奴之助 (Inaoka Nunosuke) often appears on the piece in different forms, sometimes, 奴之助, sometimes 稲岡奴之助. And upon a time, we discovered the author’s birth year (1873) — from any reliable or reasonable sources, from that point, we need to establish a form of the author’s name (i.e. that to be used in 100 or 700). For this case, it will be
┌稲岡奴之助, ǂd b. 1873
└Inaoka, Nunosuke, ǂd b. 1873
呑気楼三昧(Nonki Ōzanmi) is the psedonym of 高松豊治郎 (Takamatsu Toyojirō)
This is an example that an author has an authority file
松林伯圓, ǂd 1832-1905
Shōrin, Hakuen, ǂd 1832-1905.
