[Dspace-general] Multiple Authors Question

[Westman, Stephen]

My apologies if this question has already been answered, but I have been
unable to find any place where that has happened.

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!
