Abstract: | The history of cataloging pseudonymsis reviewed. The second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules reverses a century-long cataloging practice by allowing authors who use several pseudonyms to be entered in the catalog under each name. The AACR2 rule violates the catalog's objectives as formulated by Lubetzky, and is contradictory to AACR2's own internal logic. The number of disadvantages to the rule far outweigh any advantages. The rule should be replaced. |
