Different Real Names Used Concurrently by Contemporaries:

Apply this interpretation only in retrospect, after information received from publications, etc., has begun to provide the necessary evidence and this evidence is clear.

If a contemporary author who uses different real names concurrently (as opposed to abandoning one real name in favor of another) and this usage at the same time of multiple real names can be ascribed to the fact that the works written under one name are different from works written under other name(s), then treat the case in the same way as pseudonyms and follow LCRI 22.2B for the details of using multiple headings.

Example

Composers and Performers:

In applying this rule, do not consider a music composer or performer to be a contemporary author.

Printers' Widows:

1. If the personal name of the widow of a printer is used in the item being cataloged or in reference sources (cf. LCRI 22.1B) but is also referred to as the widow of a printer, establish the printer under her personal name. Make a see reference from the personal name of the printer qualified by "widow of."

Example

2. If the widow of a printer is identified only as the widow of a printer, establish the heading as a phrase. Make a see reference from the personal name of the printer qualified by "widow of."

Examples

3. If the personal name of the widow of a printer is used in the item being cataloged but she is not also identified as the widow of a printer, establish her under her personal name. Do not make a see reference from the name of the printer.

Example

4. If the word "widow" is used as a term of address, treat it as such.

Example

22.2A. Predominant name

22.2B. Pseudonyms
