| Abstract | This study compared the formation of the names of Victorian women writers in the Library of Congress name authority file to the formation of names in selected bibliographic tools created by humanities scholars. A purposive sample of 52 writers, divided into 12 problem categories derived from Chapter 22 of the "Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules," was searched in four bibliographic tools and the name authority file. A comparison of the variant forms found in the tools and the 100 and 400 fields on MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging) authority records indicated a significant discrepancy in the formation of names. Forty-one percent of the entries in the tools, representing 45% of the variant forms, did not appear in the 100 or 400 fields of the authority records. It was concluded that further research in the area of authority control of personal names is needed in order to better meet the needs of humanities scholars. Possible solutions to the name discrepancy problem include changing the Library of Congress Rule Interpretations and involving the literary community in the creation of authority records. The appendices contain the data collection sheet and a list of writers included in the study. (Contains nine references.) (DGM) |
