[MinervaCats] Graphic Novel - Japanese translation of authors name

[Rebecca Francis]

Hi Ann,

I just downloaded an authority record for this author.  Since the name 
appears on the book itself as "Toume", that is how it should be spelled in 
the 245 |c . 

However, the authority record shows that the 'established' form of the 
name is "Tome" with a line over the "o", and so that's what goes in the 
100 field. 

Now that there is an authority record, when users do an author search for 
"Toume" they'll be able to click on the established form of the name to 
get to all of the works by that author.

Rebecca

[MinervaCats] Graphic Novel - Japanese translation of authors name







Good morning -

I have just added a graphic novel series - Lament of the lamb - one 
of the bib #s is b21906117

My question - the author was translated on the cover as Toume - the 
records I brought in before receiving the item have the author as 
Tome with a line above the O  -  should I be using the spelling on 
the item? the Z39.5 spelling? and if so what is the correct way to 
add the other spelling for ease of searching the OPACs?

I know, just the question everyone wanted to start off a Wednesday 
morning.

Thank you all,
Ann
