I'm with Anne and Jill. I do my best to give good citations so others may find the reference but am not going to be bound by following a particular set of rules.

Someday I'd love to move home to Pittsburgh, which has some great libraries, larger than most of the ones in my current area.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-54900478948331820372017-04-07T00:35:45.769+10:002017-04-07T00:35:45.769+10:00I agree with you that everyone should have a libra... <br />I agree with you that everyone should have a library card though our system (like education) is below the mark.<br /><br />Happy A to Zing<br /><br /><a href="https://moondustwriter.com/2017/04/06/elephant-uganda-atozchallenge/" rel="nofollow">A Piece of Uganda</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13414513238308254080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-81122061015577709222017-04-06T21:23:50.320+10:002017-04-06T21:23:50.320+10:00Lovely photo

Molly I am so pleased you found the post useful. Sue - it sounds like your State Library of Victoria is getting a well deserved upgrade. I can't wait to see its new incarnation. Fran I got my copy of Evidence Explained through Betterworld Books. SENCO Cat Herder - a dreamliner is a plane. It can do some pretty amazing take offs..have a look at You Tube. Jill Ball - I love your passion!

For many of us genealogy is a hobby/leisuretime activity not an academic pursuit.<br /><br />I believe in diligence and accuracy but agree we must provide evidence to support our assertions but I will not be bound by a complex set of rules developed by an American 'expert'. I will cite clearly and concisely so that anyone wanting to check out my sources will be able to find them. If I have to cite properly for publication then Harvard is my choice.<br /><br />Jill - Blogging the #AtoZChallenge at ballau.blogspot.comGeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-71606630366381881682017-04-06T15:52:34.933+10:002017-04-06T15:52:34.933+10:00Really interesting post!

Consistency in citations is probably a good thing but I am always keen to move on so I feel as long as I have adequately described where I got the information from she'll be right.

And yes, the State Library of Victoria is an excellent place for research and my card enables me to use their various e resources from home. Even the local library can afford to subscribe to Britannica and Choice. I draw my students' attention to the usefulness of being a member, even if you never go there(though some do, to do homework when they don't have the Internet at home). <br /><br />We are very lucky in our National Library. I haven't found another one that has the likes of Trove. Pity the budget has been scrapped for that so no updates now, while this government is in power!Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-65072944162221928742017-04-06T06:48:16.750+10:002017-04-06T06:48:16.750+10:00Love the photo!
