[DCRM-L] Citing CERL in bib record

[Schneider, Nina]

Here are the details:

I'm working on "Le Vrai Patriote. Dissertation Philosophique et
Politique, Par M. Alitephe, Citoyen Francais." It's dated 1789, with no
place or publisher. 

There is a record for the microfilm in OCLC (#79900426) and it's
attributed to Francois Marie Puthod,(1757-1820). This is the same
attribution given by the knowledgeable bookseller from whom we bought
it. However, the Bibliotheque National attributes it to
Hippolyte-Alexandre Putod (1753-1793). They have more than one edition.



This is when I checked CERL and found that M. Alitephe is cross
referenced to Francois Marie Puthod. The source is LCNAF. 

So, what I'd like to do is

500    Alitephe is the pseudonym of Francois Marie Puthod. Cf. CERL
510 4  CERL $ccnp00443253

I could also modify my 500 note:

500	 Attributed to Hippolyte-Alexandre Putod. Cf. BN; Alitephe is
the pseudonym of Francois Marie Puthod. Cf. CERL
700 1  Puthod, Fra....
700 1  Putod, Hip...



Francois Marie Puthod is in the LCNAF, Hippolyte-Alexandre Putod is not.
The pseudonym Alitephe is not cross-referenced in LC, only in CERL.

Unfortunately, this book is not in Barbier, Cioranescu, or Querard.

This is an interesting question, Nina. What kind of information are you
using from a CERL record for your own record?

I wouldn't cite the CERL database in this way at all. It isn't a
bibliography but a conglomeration of records from various sources of
varying degrees of accuracy. If I had to, I would rather be inclined to
cite the library from which the record came, informally, in a 500 note. 
Something along the lines of: "By Maria Madeitupovic, according to the
catalogue of the Molvanian National Library". But this would only be as
a last resort if I couldn't find the work in an authoritative (and
readily citable) source.
