Attached you will find a patch which exposes authors to views as individual list items instead of complete authorships as it is the case at the moment. I have added a custom views field handler and removed the standard handler biblio_handler_field_contributor.

This allows to filter authors by Affiliation (all possible options listed as radios atm) and Drupal uid (Display only authors with a local account).

You can see the the possibilities of this approach in an example using an exhibit here: http://www.balanceonline.org/publikationen

Very interesting site. I like the ajaxian filtering, I've been meaning to do something like that in the core module. Is that all implemented in Views?

Yes it's all Views. Exposed As a json Feed to The exhibit Module. You can find a Brief Tutorial at http://balanceonline.org/publications-exhibit/tutorial . Any feedback is welcome. I will add more detail to it in the following days.
