I had located an email with a similar question in 2006 and found that Bob Talbott had responded to it. I contacted him to see if he still has some e-mail correspondence regarding that issue that he had also brought up and this is what he wrote me: On the other hand, I do recall an issue that came up with using portions of email addresses, and 2006 seems about the right time frame. The matter was simple: if the only form of the name in Latin script was a plausibly full-ish form worked into an email address, then it was permisable to use it as a cross-reference, but not as a prominent romanized form. For example, a book by פלוני אלמוני comes across my desk. The only romanized form is an email address: Plony Almony. Joan's decision was that "Almony, Plony" was fit for a cross-reference, but didn't meet the standards for prominence and shouldn't be used as a heading. I hope that's it because I don't recall anything else. I am going to post the query to PCC right now because it is an issue that goes beyond the Hebraica community. I will cc you on the correspondence. Best, Heidi Heidi G. Lerner Metadata Librarian for Hebraica and Judaica Metadata Dept.

My thinking is the same as the latter part of your message. If she ‘calls’ herself “leah.bernstein” in the email address, and לאה ברנשטיין in Hebrew, we could use “Leah Bernstein” as the heading….

There is nothing in RDA which specifies whether we can or cannot use parts of e-mail address for headings. On the one hand, those forms of names are constructed as strings and do not really present the form of the name as it would be written. On the other hand if we have the form of the name in Hebrew we can "construct" the romanized form based on the letters used in the e-mail address. If you don't mind, I will post the question to the PCClist and also Heb-NACO. best, HEidi Heidi G. Lerner Metadata Librarian for Hebraica and Judaica Metadata Dept.

Could that be considered as the 100?? See attached. *I will of course submit a full NAR, but wanted to ask you first so I’d know how to construct it.
