The AU field identifies the person(s) responsible for the intellectual content of the original document. When available, a description of the author's relation to the work, such as editor, biographer, etc. appears in parentheses following the author's name. Author names appear last name first, followed by first name or initials. Search using the truncation symbol (*) if you do not know the exact format or spelling of an author name. For example, hoffman* in au retrieves all variations of the name, such as "hoffman-elizabeth," "hoffman-elizabeth-aycock," and "hoffman-e" as well as "hoffman-william."

This field-specific index contains only names drawn from the AU field, therefore, your search will always yield results. Search results display in the AU field.
