✦ Synopsis

their own rules! It's just too complicated to treat each compound surname individually or to rely on standards like the AACR. An author's last name is tentatively de-fined as the last element (reading from the right) up to the first space we encounter. If the last element includes a hyphen, we'll accept the entire hyphenated name as the surname. If a "particle" (foreign articles, prepositions, and words indicating relations) immediately precedes it, we'll "collapse" it with the last name and accept the sum as the surname. For example, George de la Tours would be indexed as Delatours G. Table 1 lists those particles which will be collapsed with the author's last name. Of course, Oriental and Central European names that list the last name first will be handled separately. Most of this applies to our treatment of these names when they appear as the by-lines in original source articles.
