I bet you thought I would not be nagging all of you any more but I am doing
volunteer at work at Gardiner Public Library and the following is an issue
that needs to be corrected.
Everything in Minerva by musician/songwriter Cat Stevens has been entered
under Yusuf Islam which is not entirely correct. On the Yusuf Islam
authority record Stevens, Cat is given a "see also" reference which appears
in Minerva as "Stevens, Cat see also Islam, Yusuf." This means that Stevens
is used as the main entry (MARC 100 1 field) if the music being cataloged
was produced before 1980 when he changed his name to Yusuf. B13990810 is a
good example. This is a record for a CD containing works of Stevens released
between 1967 and 1978. The main entry should not be under Islam but under
Stevens even though the date on the inserted booklet is 2000. I am going to
correct this record (apl and rpl are also attached) later today but those
libraries holding works by Stevens need to double check and be sure the
entries on your records are correct.
Hope this is clear.
