I'm confused too, Steven! The one thing I'm sure of is that in this case, there is no Lloyd Johnson. ;-) Thanks for the helpful replies everyone. We are not doing RDA bib records at this point so I only need to worry about the authority record.

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)     ;)
