In "Template 5 - Complex Website (Multiple Articles or Databases)" there are three questions for which a brief answer would be very helpful. I don't see anything in the "Construction Notes" that addresses these questions.
1) If the "Descriptor" for the database is something like "database with images" and one only use the images, where does one note that in the template structure? Edition 3 had an "Item Type or Format" field that made this clear. Does this information now get subsumed by the "Specific Item field"?
2) When the database has an "Author/Creator", as in the example associated with Template 5, why does it apparently disappear in the "Full Reference Note" example? Does it also disappear everywhere else (ie. Subsequent Note and Bibliography), as well?
3) The Template 5 table says "Creator (website)" is not needed for the current example and "Publisher" is rarely needed for websites. However; if they ARE needed, where do they go?
Hello, again, H-H. Question…
Hello, again, H-H.
Question 1:
Yes. If you are using a database without images, then your specific item field would say that you are citing the database entry (as demonstrated in Template 5). If you are using a database with images, then your specific item field states that you are using an image. This is demonstrated in many of the EE examples throughout all the record-focused chapters.
Question 2:
You've caught an typesetting gremlin, H-H. Thank you. Dr. Hall's full name will be added in the next printing.
Question 3:
Would you give us an example of a website in which a publisher of the website is not the same as the creator of the website? When exceptions exist (or are perceived), the specific details need to be considered. That said, Template 5 does show where the publisher's identify would appear.
