[MinervaCats] Working on Maine Authors

[Bonnie Collins]

I am beginning the process of cleaning up the heading 650  0 Maine author or 650  0 Authors, American|zMaine. As most of you are these heading used to be assigned to records if the book was by a Maine author which is no longer considered to be a Minerva policy. I am not only correcting the records where appropriate but also checking for duplicate entries under the authors names  and consolidating the records. To date I have completed: Robert P. Tristram Coffin; Annie Garrett (pen name of Kelli Pryor) and Edward J.
Rielly (this is correct spelling).

I would suggest that those who have books by these authors may want to check them against Minerva. We all know that items records are not always attached to the correct bib. Please keep in mind that the record with the first printing date is the one to use; on these older records a different copyright date does not really merit a new record if everything else matches.
