Folks: 

I encountered a problem this morning. I have an author whose name 
appears both in Hebrew and in Latin script. The problem is that the 
romanized form has an obvious error. In Hebrew, Yaakov Levi but in 
Latin script, Yakov Levu. I've looked on the web, and I haven't found 
any Latin script versions of his name. So what should the heading be? 

A workable solution would be to code the record as provisional and 
make the Hebrew script form of the name the provisional authorized 
access point, but there may be better ways. Any ideas? 

Bob
