Sue,
Absolutely correct. However, the difference here is that we're dealing with
the book's meta data and not the actual contents of the book. We're not
changing the book's content by omiting the Ph.D/MD data. Bookshare has not
asked us to remove Ph.D or MD from within the book itself. I agree that the
data in question happens to be relevant in some cases. But, it's not
strictly necessary. I've noticed that quite a few libraries leave out this
information as well.

But Pratik, I thought we were supposed to stay as near to what is in the
book as possible?

Jonna,
Omiting Ph.d or M.D from an author's name is not illegal. I would consider
those items as titles as well. They are, technically speaking, descriptors
of the author's status and thus are not required.

Seems to me that a better solution would be to omit the comma that usually
appears before M.D. or Ph.D. When I think of a title, I think of Mr. or
Mrs. or Dr. So, yes, that's definitely a comment that is easily
misunderstood. I would think it would be kind of illegal, too, given the
fact that it's actually part of the author's name. Seems like the complete
name of the author would be equally as important as the copyright name, the
inclusion of page breaks, etc. Anyway, just my 2 cents' worth! <Smile>
