| :*Philadelphia, PA is an example of a link to several books, rather having several links to each book (WeRelate).
| | :*We deferred this discussion until next week |
| :*There are different styles - giving a source, as opposed to the reference information. Quotes in the body of the document would have the souce in the footnote.
| |
| :*We need to present sufficient information to guide them to the title, etc. and then to further links for citing, etc. (endnote) The text should make the reader want to find more information on the topic, without giving too much information to muddy the waters (include the date information). | |
| :*More discussion is needed before we change the style guide.
| |
| :*Create a separate page, such as in WeRelate - periodicals, etc. - avoiding long citations in our text, as well as a lot of links for the same information
| |
| :*Links need to be made to more stable sites - also, linking to Google provides a good starting page, but we don't want multiple links on the page to the same site, etc.
| |
| :*Have a page that lists sites that has books. Do we have one? FamilySearch, Google, etc.
| |
| :*WeRelate has some book lists, but it may not have been updated
| |
| :*If it's just a quote, it could be in the footnotes
| |
| :*We need to make a decision on this discussion - should the guidelines be changed?
