<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Janet,</div><div><br></div><div>We, too, had a good search with cross-references in our last system. In the last staff client, we could even use keyword searching and still see the cross-references. We've held back on implementing authority control because, as you say, the cross-references would only appear in a browse search which is not a popular search approach. We would love to see them available through keyword searching some day.<br></div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime, we're indexing tag 245, subfield c in the author index. That compromise allows retrieval on author searches when the name on the title page differs from the authorized heading. We would never alter the main entry and would rather avoid adding the variant name as an added author entry. I think the 245$c is working as an adequate alternative.</div><div><br></div><div>Mary</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Feb 19, 2021 at 1:51 PM Janet Schrader <<a href="mailto:jschrader@cwmars.org">jschrader@cwmars.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Hi Everyone,<br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">It's been a while, probably because of 2020 the year that seemed both eternal and yet over so quickly, since I've posed a Friday question or comment.

Along with NOBLE we worked on development for these with the result being the ones in the browse search. Unfortunately this is not a search widely used by or even known to patrons and staff.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">How does your network handle this problem? The name the patron searches is not the main entry. Libraries have asked us to add an added author to the records or to edit the main entries. This is prevalent not only with Asian, Israeli, or Arabic names, but also authors who change names due to marriage, divorce, or just plain because they can.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Thanks,</span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Janet</span><br><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left:0pt"><table style="border:medium none;border-collapse:collapse"><colgroup><col width="180"><col width="326"></colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:102pt"><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/bSd7D8g3VXi0D27vqlwdEBAUuPEYzFQNZVljNyCgRnefpl8eEyjF52SOpmhvBVlZ8DfMuAUvg24dRX1CG2tFVlm6VpHVAPOVJ4vho7b3jgZ--7YybCEFu-wJkv-y2Jg1dYKRYcLA" style="border: medium none;" width="96" height="72"></span></p></td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding:5pt"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Janet Schrader</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Bibliographic Services Supervisor | CW MARS</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">67 Millbrook Street, Suite 201, Worcester, MA 01606</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">P: 508-755-3323 x 325 | F: 508-757-7801</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"></span></p><hr><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="mailto:jschrader@cwmars.org" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">jschrader@cwmars.org</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> || </span><a href="http://www.cwmars.org/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Proxima Nova";color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">http;//cwmars.org</span></a></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div></span><span><span><div dir="ltr" style="margin-left:0pt"><br></div></span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
