Two seperate authors with identical names

[M.]

I seem to have screwed up the page for my poetry class's book severely.

Two of the contributors to this book were named Eli Anderson (a student) and Laurie Grant (the instructor). Having found out that this book shows up on the pages for YA author Eli Anderson and romance novelist Laurie Grant (who had nothing to do with this book), I decided to rectify this by adding arrows to the author's names. Clearly, I've done something wrong and it has not had the desired effect. The same thing seems to have happened with Robert Moody on the previous book's listing (Words of Art: A Compilation of Teenage Poetry), though I've decided not to mess with this page.

Furthermore, when I go to delete the author names in the book data, it gives me an error message. The problem seems to be on my end, and it could relate to browser troubles or a bad internet connection (or perhaps just the fact I'm not a librarian).

Any help on distinguishing these authors would be much appreciated.

Fixed.
Separating authors with the same name is done by adding spaces between their first name and last name. The ^ in the examples in the librarian manual and in the librarian notes stands for a space (it's easier to count five carets then 5 spaces).

Thank you!

Would you mind also putting the same Laurie Grant as editor on Words of Art: A Compilation of Teenage Poetry?

Done :)

Hi,

I'm the Lynn McKenzie who wrote SURRENDER. I just added its sequel, (JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER, ISBN# 1492897019, but it got attached to the wrong Lynn McKenzie. Could you fix it? Any other information you need? Thanks.

Moved and added missing data.

In future, if you put TWO spaces between your first and last names when adding books, it will ensure it is added to your profile straight away :)

Your name is in the database as Lynn^^McKenzie (^ signifies spaces). I have fixed it, so the book should appear on your author page now!

[Lynn]

I'll try to remember that. Thank you both!

It gets confusing when a thread linked to a specific book is also used for other books. I am closing this thread. Start new ones for other books.
