Jenny, I had been getting my census images from Heritage Quest via my library... same thing. But I've never even considered including information about the library in the citation...! ;) --Paula in Texas

Through my membership of a particular library I am able to access the archives of 3 different newspapers. I have to log into the library's website and then log into ProQuest from there, using my library member's number. The Newspapers>online images (issued by unrelated content provider) template seems appropriate and fairly straightforward, but at the Master level it asks only for State & City (presumably where the newspaper was originally published), the title of the paper and the format. At Detail level, in addition to details of the particular article, it has fields for website title, URL and Collection. That's where it gets tricky! Do I name the Library's homepage in Website title or more specifically the URL for the "online content" page or even more specifically the URL for the ProQuest-accessed-via-a-library log-on page? (The latter is long and complex.) Or do I ignore the Library part altogether and just cite ProQuest as the Source and use their "direct access" log-on URL? Another alternative would be give ProQuest as the website title and omit the URL altogether! I'm not absolutely hung up on using exactly the right template and filling all the available fields with exactly what they ask for, but I do like to try and get my citations to be accurate, consistent and reasonably professional-looking. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
