Hello:
I probably know the answer, but would like to hear what other catalogers
would do. I cataloged the following title:
Mrs. Wilson's new cook book (revised) : a complete collection of original
recipes and useful household information / by Mrs. W.H. (Betty Lyles)
Wilson. In OCLC the main entry for this title is Wilson, Mary Elizabeth
Lyles, 1860-1924. The heading is not established. There are 8 records (+1
IR) for the name in the bib file, statements of responsibility state the
author's name as "Mrs. W.H. Wilson" or "Betty Lyles Wilson" or "Mrs. W.H.
(Betty Lyles) Wilson". Main entry is invariably "Wilson, Mary Elizabeth
Lyles, 1860-1924". There is 1 record with an added entry for "Wilson, Betty
Lyles" and none for "Wilson, W. H., Mrs."
There is no biographical information for the author, I'm no longer able to
create authority headings, and I'm here on my own.
Could anyone give me advice about the main entry for the record.
Thank you,
Oksana Linda.
