Knowing the extent to which teachers must be intimately familiar with whatever “texts” they teach, in order to interpret the author correctly and avoid mischaracterization, I admire and appreciate your willingness to study an 886-page EE “from front to back,” alongside that 956-page CMOS and the other archival guides you plan to cover. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> >And a look later at the source citation requirements for different genealogical journals and magazines.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I trust that the editors of those journals will also be called in to participate in discussions of their requirements? <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Elizabeth<o:p></o:p> <div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-bottom:solid windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-bottom-alt:solid windowtext .75pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in'> <o:p> </o:p> </div> Elizabeth Shown Mills, CG, CGL, FASG<o:p></o:p> The Evidence Series<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid black 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt; margin-left:3.75pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:5.0pt'> --- On Thu, 6/10/10, <a href="eshown@comcast.net">eshown@comcast.net</a> <<a href="eshown@comcast.net">eshown@comcast.net</a>> wrote: Larry, <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> You are generous indeed to launch this study group.
