[ISLMA-Share] Cataloging and title questions

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Unless we have specific information about this from the book or another
source., we don't know whether Ortiz is a middle name or a last name. If
she's Anglo, Ortiz is a family last name used as her middle name, and Cofer
is used for cataloguing. If she's Latin American, she has two last names,
of which Ortiz is the first and the one used for cataloguing. I don't know
the author or her work, so can't help you make that distinction.  When in
doubt, I consult the LOC author record.
