Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] Composite identities/pseudonyms in RDA?

Is Lloyd Johnson really a composite identity? From the publisher
information included, it sounds like Alice Williamson revised her
original book and incorporated material from another work by Catherine
Abbott, and published the work under a pseudonym. It could also be
interpreted that Lloyd Johnson did a mash up of separate works by Abbott
and Williamson, so it isn't a pseudonym, though the relationship
designation would be ... what?  Or am I just confused by the secondary
smoke?

The relationship of the pen name to the actual persons would be given in
the name authority records, not the bibliographic record.  Follow


There should
just be a 100 for the pseudonymous author of the work in the
bibliographic record.  No 700s for the real identities.

To break the conflict in the 100 you have a variety of choices.  Period
of activity or profession/occupation are preferred over Other
Designation Associated with the Person (see 9.6.1.9 and 9.19.1.7).

In terms of the access point "Johnson, Lloyd, $c author of The
beginner's guide to growing marijuana" is not correctly formulated.
What goes in $c is put in parentheses and the first word would be
capitalized:

Johnson, Lloyd $c (Author of The beginner's guide to growing marijuana)

However, I would try to supply a period of activity or
profession/occupation instead, e.g.:

Johnson, Lloyd, $d active ____

Johnson, Lloyd $c (Marijuana farmer)     ;)
