[Ng E-Ching]

Apologies if this is a silly question. I am making a header using the 
fancyhdr package, and I would like to automatically use the information 
from \title, \author and \date. The short title used by the table of 
contents would be especially helpful. But I haven't been able to figure 
out what the commands would be ... does anyone know?

\title{My test document}

\author{E-Ching Ng}

\date{4 Dec 2009}


\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}

\lhead{AUTHOR}\chead{TITLE}\rhead{DATE}  % Code needed here

\lfoot{}\cfoot{\thepage}\rfoot{}


Hopefully,
E-Ching
