I wonder if one were to search for an author, say mccarthy, would it come up with two different authors McCarthy (with an upper-case m and c, put in before the changes) and Mccarthy (with a lower-case c put in after the change)? Easy to check, so I'll do the search next time I'm signed on, unless someone else has an answer.

When the title and author are displayed, the first letter is capitalized, and the rest are lower-case. Most of the time, this is fine, but for names like McCarthy or McPhee, the second capitalized letter is switched to lower case. I have tried fixing names like those myself any number of times, but the display is persistent with its rule of only the first letter being capped. I'm hoping Engineering will allow mid-capitals on titles and authors one of these days. They have more pressing matters to attend to, at the moment.

Did you click on the link that says "Edit Metadata?" That will allow you to change the author, title, copyright date and holder, and the ISBN.
