Due to BookBrainz being in beta and still a work in progress, last year students had no way to link Authors and their Works (books).

To complete this task you must find 3 already existing Works with no relationship to an Author. Link them by clicking "edit" on either entity's page, find the section named "Relationships" and add a new one. A pop-up will let you search for the other entity. You must also fill in everything you can about the 3 Works and 3 Authors like relevant aliases and all the identifiers you can find. There are tooltips to help you, but if you are lost head to the help page

Be aware that there are duplicate entities in the database. If you encounter such a case, try to choose the entity with the best data: accuracy and amount of information, and number of relationships.

If you cannot find the Author of a specific Work, you can create them. In the menu bar, select Add -> Author and follow the inputs on the screen, fill in everything you can. Wikipedia and web searches will be useful tools here.

Not finding the Author of a Work that already is in the database is very unlikely, do an extra search! A duplicate Author will not qualify to complete this task.

Finally write some feedback about the relationship interface: What was good, what was bad? Did something not work as expected? What would have helped you in your task?

Submit the links for the entities and your feedback (a simple text file or writing directly in the task reply) to complete this task.
