1) the author uses only a single name, which is a pseudonym;
or 2) the author is not a contemporary and does not have separate
bibliographic identities;
choose one name as the basis for a single heading. If a choice is necessary, choose the
name under which the person has come to be identified in later editions of his or her
works, in critical works, or in other references sources (in that order of preference).
Make simple see references from other names.
Pre-1988 Policy
For contemporary authors whose works appear under several pseudonyms (or
under the real name and one or more pseudonyms), rule 22.2C2 in the 1978 edition of AACR
2 required choosing for the heading the name used predominantly. References were made
from the other names. Whenever a pseudonym (or real name) covered by a "see"-reference
on a name authority record created according to the 1978 AACR 2 is needed in post-1987
cataloging, change existing records according to the instructions above for "Multiple
Headings--Contemporaries."

For Library of Congress descriptive catalogers only: On the name authority record for
the person, list in the 670 field all the known pseudonyms, but establish separate
headings only for the pseudonyms used (or likely to be used) on separately published
works. List the unestablished pseudonyms in a 667 field following the phrase "Pseudonyms
not found on published works:" Do not make references from the unestablished pseudonyms.
