Mrs. Anuradha Vaidya Kaginalikar; a fiction writer will be rendered as per AACR 2 as :

  • A.Mrs. VAIDYA KAGINALKAR (Anuradha) ( )
  • B.Mrs. Anuradha Vaidya-Kaginalkar
  • C.Vaidya Kaginalkar, Mrs. Anuradha
  • D.VAIDYA KAGINALKAR, (Mrs. Anuradha) ( )

Answer: C

Under AACR 2 the heading is Vaidya Kaginalkar, Mrs. Anuradha.

AACR 2 enters a person under the surname, inverted, with a comma before the forenames. A compound surname is entered under its first element, so the whole surname Vaidya Kaginalkar comes first. Where a term of address such as Mrs. is added, AACR 2 places it after the surname, before the forename, as in Ward, Mrs. Humphry.

Option B gives the name in direct order, which AACR 2 does not use for a surname-bearing name. Options A and D, with the entry element in capitals and the forename in brackets, follow the style of Ranganathan's Classified Catalogue Code, not AACR 2.
