Well maybe both are "where"? If someone says I read it in the NY Times that's a "where" kind of statement and one could have read it while sitting on a park bench.

I rarely in scholarly bibliographies see a repository for newspaper articles or anything else that is published, though I can imagine that if the newspaper was old and rare someone may manage to include that info.

In this particular instance the name of the repository of the original "source" can only be the physical location of the Bible since the original newspaper source itelf is likely to be found in more than one library and NONE of those is where the researcher found the article. (Unless s/he did some double checking.) Ordinarily repositories are NOT given for published items (except perhaps if they're rare).

Pat,
I'm trying not to split hairs on this but surely where the info was found is the repository and not the source. The source being the name of the original publication.

Well, I agree when it comes to the final bibliography -- I'm just talking
about the source list name, which is simply for our convenience. I realize
I'm assuming this doesn't make it into the final bibliography, but come to
think about it -- I don't really know that.

Anyway, I'm assuming also that Leg 7 will be a whole different ballgame.

Though I do think you have to say WHERE you found the info-- for
UNidentified newspaper clippings, at least. (I don't think that would be
necessary for fully identified newspaper clippings -- at least if you're
positive they're correctly identified -- which would mean the newspaper name
and date and page number were part of the clipping.)

I find it odd that people would source obituaries and news articles found
between the pages of a bible differently than similar items located in a
notebook or filing cabinet. Why not take the newspaper items out of the
Bible and file them with the rest of your obituaries and news articles?
AFter all, the newspapers are the source, not where the articles are
"filed."
