The search function is not case-sensitive. Doesn't matter which case you use on
the letters, Bookshare will find whatever you're looking for regardless of the
letters' case in either the search field or in the metadata.

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.

Hi Christina,
Editing the metadata does not help. 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.
Carrie

Hello, Tracy.
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.
