Gene, I have been puzzled by that element of cataloging. We are told that there can be separate bibliographic identities for authors that use pseudonyms, yet I see lots of authority records that include pseudonyms as 4XX’s. When does it become appropriate to say the use of a pseudonym calls for a separate authority record?

Does this discussion have any relevance to the use of pseudonymns?  There are several 500s under Mark Twain, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, etc.  Was Mark Twain only used of certain types of literature?  And do those 500s have any relevance to those looking and having found Mark Twain?

I accidentally said “when we moved to identifiers”, but meant “when we move to identifers”.
