Nevertheless, according to Gustavo's message earlier today you are to leave out III and JR. as well as acquired titles such as phd md msw. This is so we can accomodate difficulties in the database.

Dear Fellow Volunteers,A thought about which Titles, initials and roman numerals to include in an author or editor's name on the submission or uploading form. If the initials are on the person's birth certificate, they are part of his or her name, Like Jr. or III. M D and Sgt. etc are acquired reflecting status/accomplishments acquired during a lifetime and are supposed to be skipped.Do you think this method of deciding is sound?

I would consider those items as titles as well. They are, technically speaking, descriptors of the author's status and thus are not required.

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> Jana----- Original Message ----- From: "Elizabeth and Burton" <thoth93@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2007 6:27 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Gustavo's comments are understandable by all according to GustavoI believe it has to do with the database and the fact that the database in its present form will see phd md etc as a actual author. The engineers are going to be busy particularly as this has been an issue discussed on this list for over four years. E. At 06:45 PM 1/3/2007, you wrote:I do not understand leaving off MD and PHD. If I am going to read a book about a health problem, say heart disease, I would pay more attention to one written by a doctor than I would a lay person or student. I think this isa disservice to bookshare.org readers, annoyed though Gustavo may be.

He says that other people understand his comments. He was surprised I did not understand the following to mean do not include PHD or MD in author's names. To his "title" means MD or PHD. He seems extremely annoyed to be questioned. At 12:57 PM 1/3/2007, you wrote: Stop Being Your Symptoms and Start Being Yourself Author: Arthur J. Barsky MD and Emily C.
