the AUTHOR field gives you options. In the TITLE, SERIES TITLE and SUBJECT fields
the system has selected for you the field most likely to contain your search
term. This is a limited search and if you cannot find the item you want, try
a keyword or phrase search.
However, the AUTHOR field is an exception. This offers you several fields to
search. The first one is the ME (Main Entry) and is a list
of first authors, either personal or corporate.
If the person you are looking for is not the first author or you want to search
under the name of the organisation which sponsored the research, you will also
need to check using the search field AE (Added Entry). If the
publication was linked to a conference, the fields MEC (Main
Entry Conference) or AEC (Added Entry Conference) should be
highlighted.
