Unfortunately, it is no longer as easy to keep your real name a secret from your publishers. Notes
In the past, one could often use a pseudonym for all editorial correspondence, and simply make
an arrangement with one’s bank to have checks deposited under one’s pen name. Now, however,
publishers are required to inform the IRS of payments made to writers, which means that they
must have your social security number and your real name. However, if you are using an agent,
you may be able to handle such payments through your agent and not reveal your identity to
publishers.
The final thing to keep in mind when using a pseudonym is; it will not protect you from any
legal action that might result from your writing. A pseudonym has no existence as a “legal”
entity; no matter what name you put on your work, the ultimate responsibility for that work
always rests on you.

13.4 Change of Name

Libraries within primary and secondary schools have experienced name changes as well.
The name of the physical space has tried on a few different descriptors, from plain old school
library to media centre to learning commons. The title of the person who works in that setting
has also varied and been subject to contention. In 2010, the American Association of School
Librarians voted to recognize School Librarian as the official job title of their profession, replacing
the previously preferred designation, School Library Media Specialist. This decision met with
some controversy. One blogger who objected to the change advocated instead for another
common title, Teacher Librarian. In this case, the titles did more than describe the job – they
established the role of the librarian firmly within the educational system.
The word “library” may conjure up an image of an old building smelling of even older books in
the mind of the public and “librarian” may still make many people recall a shushing spinster.
In reality, the 21st century library and the 21st century librarian have moved light years beyond
those worn-out stereotypes. Today’s library is a transformed space that exceeds its physical
boundaries and reaches into cyberspace. Today’s librarian must be tech savvy and remain attuned
to a body of users with an enormous range of needs and aptitudes. Meanwhile, the language
used to describe libraries and librarians has kept pace with the changes in the field, in some cases
leading to confusion among users and controversy among practitioners.
