Hi Stephen, We take a simple approach.
We add all authors that are listed on the work (as they appear on the work) and we don't enter them in any particular order. The assumption being that 1 or >1 of the authors is from Victoria University of Wellington and any presentation information and ordering of names and affiliation is likely to be embedded in the work. We were just talking about organisational affiliations this morning and the Names* project being undertaken by JISC in the UK. We have avoided including this information in the metadata schema. That is not to say name ordering and organisational affiliation and presentation are not useful metadata and good ideas - they are - we are just keeping up metadata levels and complexity of workflow down. Hope this sheds some useful light.

We are in the process of setting up a DSpace instance here at UNC Charlotte and have run into a cataloging questions. Specifically, we have several articles in which the UNC Charlotte author a) is not at the top of the list of authors and b) the list includes several authors not affiliated with our institution. My question is how other libraries handle this situation. Do you only enter the name of the author from your institution into the Author field and add the other names to another field? Do you enter them all in as authors? If so, do you include notes indicating where the other authors are located? How do you handle copyright questions where multiple authors are involved? Any help that you could provide would be most welcome. Thanks in advance! Stephen R. Westman Digital Information Services Librarian J.
