Jinfo Article
4th April 2011
By Amanda Hill
Abstract
Searching for author names in online systems is fraught with difficulty because there are so many possible variations for each name. So the Names Project promises to provide a much-needed solution for the many institutional repositories which are being developed. Amanda Hill describes the progress being made with this JISC-funded, joint British Library and Mimas project.
