A pseudonym may be used instead of the surname (and only a reference to the pseudonym made under the surname) when an author is much more known by his false than by his real name. In case of doubt use the real name. (1q
A society is to be entered under the first word, not an article, of its corporate name, with references from any other name by which it is known, especially from the name of the place where its headquarters are established, if it is often called by that name. (1r
References.—When an author has been known by more than one name, references should be inserted from the name or names not to be used as headings to the one used. (1s
- References are also to be made to
the headings chosen:
- from the titles of all novels and plays and of poems likely to be asked for by their titles; (1t
- from other striking titles; (1u
- from noticeable words in anonymous titles, especially from the names of subjects of anonymous biographies; (1v
- from the names of editors of periodicals, when the periodicals are generally called by the editor’s name; (1w
- from the names of important translators (especially poetical translators) and commentators; (1x
- from the title of an ecclesiastical dignitary, when that, and not the family name, is used in the book catalogd; (1y
- and in other cases where a reference is needed to insure the ready finding of the book. (1z
