Author's Family Name Help:
If you can't find an author's name, for example in a newspaper or
magazine, use the title of the newspaper or magazine.
Do not use 'et al.' in bibliographies: quote the names of all the authors
and/or editors.
If you don't know which name is the family name and which are the other
names:
Look at the pages in the front of the book for the Library of Congress
Cataloging-in-Publication Data. If you see the author's name with a comma after the first
word, then that first word is the author's family name.
Use the library catalogue to search for
the title of the book , then look for the author's name .
Search for the book at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble , find the book by its title, then look for
the author's family name.
Check the list of other names .
If you can't find the information in the sources above, use all of the name.

Author's Initials Help
The author's initials are the first letters of each of the author's
family names. For example, if the author is Wong W ai M an, then the initials
are WM
