Dear Community,
I've recently started using Legacy 7.5 Deluxe Edition. I chose it in great part because of the SourceWriter documentation facility. But I have some questions about how to use it, especially in regard to information I find online. If I find a facsimile of a document on the Internet, may I cite it directly as my source, using one of SourceWriters source types? How does the website come into it-it wouldn't exactly be the repository, would it, if the original document were physically available somewhere? Suppose I accept data supplied by some website creator, on the grounds of a particular record or source he or she cited. What's the best way in Legacy to make note of my source's source? (If I simply cite the website, as I have thus far, I lose track of why I believed the data in the first place). How about online transcriptions of documents? What about typewritten transcriptions? They're not the originals, true (and I know how transcribers can err), but they're better sources, aren't they, than someone simply asserting, "Obed Edom Jr. died in 1755"? I'd like to know how to use Legacy to cite them in the proper manner. I have a lot more questions about how to get the best use out of this program, but I'll keep this message on topic and save my other queries for further emails. Thank you so much for your help. Any way you can advise me on using SourceWriter will be most appreciated.
