Well for example you cannot access the electoral roll as it was at Jan 1 2012 or today by any other method in Australia, other than going into an electoral office and using their terminal. They used to have online access but it was being misused by everyone from the police to angry ex partners. I asked :)

I use Basic for the ones I found at the library. Remember that source writer is just a mechanism to generate a citation. With basic I don’t put anything in volume, in page I put something like “1921 Gwydir Division Inverell Polling Place Fiche 48 Page 38” and the name of the person in ID of person. Thus my citation ends up as: “NSW, Australia, NSW Electoral Rolls (Commonwealth Division), 1921 Gwydir Division Inverell Polling Place Fiche 48 Page 38, Ernest William Nicholson; State Library of NSW, Sydney.” This works for me. For the ancestry.com images I selected "online image" and again made it work for me. Hope this helps, Gavin...
