Uniform
Names
Often
people go by more
than one name. In order to keep
all of the works by the same person together,
they are given a uniform
name that is used consistently
throughout the database.
This
is especially important for:
- Names
that have been transliterated
into English and may be spelled
several different ways, like Dostoyevsky / Dostoevskii
/ Dostoevskij
- People
who write under pseudonyms
/ aliases, such
as Mark Twain
- People
who may be known under a familiar name or nickname,
like Bill Clinton
- People
who change their
names, like JLO
/ Jennifer Lopez
- People
who are known by their honorific
title, such as the Dalai Lama
In
the previous example, you searched for books by
Gates William.
