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.
