> "Adam L. Schiff" I find Open WorldCat's way of displaying author names very confusing. It is even worse for visual material: the main entry is omitted entirely, and only the added entries display. For example, a drawing by Antoine Watteau with an added entry for the former owner, J. Pierpont Morgan, displays like this: Head of a Girl in Cap by J Pierpont Morgan The only way to discover the artist's name is to click on Cite this item, which gives the 1XX field as the first element in the citation. We have just had our records loaded into OCLC WorldCat, and I am not looking forward to explaining this feature to our curators. Elizabeth O'Keefe
