Two different authors, three names ... disambiguation please

[Linda]

Douglas J. Raber & Doug Raber are the same person.

Douglas J. Raber and Nancy K. Raber wrote an organic chemistry text and an accompanying instructors' manual.

Doug Raber (the same guy as Douglas J. Raber) and Linda Raber (I) have written a novel called "Face of the Earth."

"Douglas Raber", however, is an information scientist and has two nonfiction books on librarianship and information.

is there a way to combine Douglas J. Raber & Doug Raber and give them the same author page?

Should be straightened out now. Let us know if I missed anything.

Douglas Raber of chemistry & novel.
Douglas Raber of librarian science.

Out of curiosity, why not have the first keep his middle initial and let the second by the one-space author?

The simple answer? My head seems to be in the clouds today. ;)

No worries. I just didn't want to change it without checking. :)

All is fine with me!
