Barton,
Who knows what "Electronic book" means. It seems to mean in digital
form, including audio, so it isn't necessarily online. The part you
quote goes on to explain that. Could be on CD or Kindle or even tape as
an audio.
If you go in Legacy to Add - SourceWriter source, instead of searching
for 12.79 you go to Books and look through the options for "reprint" and
then choose "online", you'll find the templates that do what you need.
I think it should have place for the original publisher and publication
place instead of just the original publication date so I put full
original publication details in that original publication date box.
Note be guided most by ESM's principles. She can't give a detailed model
for absolutely every source type and doesn't even try for most of the world.
Note if you really need to be "exact" to what ESM would enter, rather
than meet the criteria of using a recognised sourcing style so that
someone else can find your source, you can ask on her forum.

To enter it in Legacy, you'll still have to come back to the
SourceWriter and choose a template and then decide how much of it you
need to use and how in order to replicate her model.

I want to cite an obituary printed in a book that has been put online.
I consulted ESM and find her lacking in fullness and clarity on this
issue. Am I wrong? In her section 12.60 she says,
"Electronic books and their online equivalents [isn't that a
non-sequitur - an electronic book is by definition online] generally
take one of four forms:
- audio versions of books issued in print;
- text publications solely released on CD-ROM or online;
- digital image editions of books previously published in print; and
- reformatted digital editions of books previously appearing in paper
form."
The book I am interested in would appear to fit the last of the 4
categories. She says she treats this in section 12.79. However, there
is nothing in this section that references websites, url's or the
internet. Rather, she discusses these "reprints" as if they are
printed books, making no reference to them appearing online. Am I
wrong, or is there nowhere in EE where she talks about the proper
citation for a book appearing online (and corresponding master source
template in Legacy) that is not an audio book; on a CD-ROM or digital
image of an original work?
Thanks,
Barton
