Book Passage: Robert Burton (March 24 at 19:00)
Robert Burton on tour for On Being Certain.
"Robert Burton talks about On Being Certain. Bringing together cutting edge neuroscience, experimental data, and fascinating anecdotes, neurologist Burton challenges the notions of how we think about what we know. He shows that the feeling of certainty we have when we “know” something is a ... (more)mental sensation, rather than evidence of fact."

What?

Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?

A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.

Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?

A: Yes you can.

Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list?

A: Yes you can.

Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.

Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?

A: No authors.

Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right!

A: Take it to the Combiners group.

Q: What if the disambiguation notice is wrong?

A: Go ahead and edit it.
