Denise Beaubien Bennett Engineering Librarian Marston Science Library University of Florida, Gainesville FL Front-line sci-tech librarian Sci-tech database searching started in the mediated, mainframe based, pay-per-view era Research assistance (reference) assisting users with subject searching, finding citations, etc. Instruction teaching users to select and search databases Interlibrary Loan verification treasure-hunting, tracing bad citations to the source, finding articles for authors who don’t have personal copies Supervisor of: Val Davis, VIVO National Implementation Coordinator 1

Research and project interests Database searching and evaluation Library catalog indexing project manager 3x Reference sources General Editor & Division Editor, Guide to Reference Author name disambiguation became very personal! Held offices in ALA: RUSA and ACRL STS Victim turned Crusader I have published under 2 names: Denise M. Beaubien Denise Beaubien Bennett WilsonWeb (an indexing and abstracting service) created a “fused” name for me, and redirected my entries to a form that does not appear on any published piece: Denise M. Beaubien Bennett 2

WilsonWeb’s bad idea In WilsonWeb: On the piece: Result? No citation credit! citations are not credited in Web of Science (below) since author name doesn’t match article title is not present; indicating the citation is not linked WilsonWeb corrected this citation, but not all of their goofs… and the Web of Science error remains. I’m not the only victim: ditto for Kathleen de la Pena McCook, formerly Kathleen Heim 3
