It seems like it should be a simple question.
I am using a book that is available on Archive.org as a source for multiple citations. I am having trouble deciding on how to identify the author. The link to the book of interest is https://archive.org/details/catalogueofoffic00washrich.
After studying the title page, the last paragraph of the Preface, and EE 12.12 and 12.13, I am still confused on how to identify the author. Archive.org says the author is Washington and Lee University, which I can understand. But I could also postulate leaving it blank, "Board of Trustees," "Committee," or even using some of the names lised in the final paragraph of the preface.
How do you suggest I identify the author of this work?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom, in cases such as this,
Tom, in cases such as this, it usually helps to look for the work in two major catalogs: the Library of Congress (catalog.loc.gov) and WorldCat.org.
You won't go wrong, in this case, following the example of Archive.org. Or you could identify the author/creator as "Board of Trustees, Washington and Lee University." "Board of Trustees" or "Committee," used alone, would be so generic as to be problematic in some situations.
Thanks!
