Thanks, Cathy.  I wasn’t thinking of the online book as a “reprint” but I guess 
that’s what it is.  I found the appropriate Master Source.

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. https://www.evidenceexplained.com/

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 publis hed 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
