According to Evidence Explained (section 2.19, Citing Repositories), if you are looking at a source (of published material) that is available at multiple repositories you do not need to include the name of the repository in the citation. If this newspaper was on microfilm it should also be available (at the very least) at the Arkansas State Archives and at least one of the state universities. If you were looking at the actual newspaper, it would, most likely, still be available on microfilm. The reason I specified "published material" (such as a newspaper) then this rule holds true. If you were talking about something like a unique manuscript that is only in one place you would have to cite the repository.

I don't know why not, but here goes again: I was entering an obituary as a source, and using the Source Writer. The obit was at a local library in Arkansas. I selected "Newspapers - print editions - (microfilm or original)." As I went through the fields for both source and detail, I did not see a field where I could enter in the repository - the name of the public library where the obituary was held. Should that not be an included piece of information?
