Re: [LM_NET] Tar: Author's name

[Thomas Kaun <tomkaun@GMAIL.COM>]

Hi, Susan et al.
The best source for name authorities is the Library of Congress Authorities.
It would be great if everybody bookmarked the site: <
http://authorities.loc.gov/>
Here is their reference for Lynne Reid Banks:

They give Banks as her last name.

Information doesn’t deserve to be free. It is an abstract tool; a useful
fantasy, a nothing. It is nonexistent until and unless a person experiences
it in a useful way. --Jaron Lanier
