Speaking of access date, I notice there is 2 places to add a date. I use
the Master Source date for when I first added the source. Then I use the
detail date for when I added that particular information. I use the
repository also in the detail, so I know if it was verified (& I would
check) with the original information (if such a thing exists). Is that
the right way to use it?

Hi Sara, I wanted to respond to your question earlier, but was busy
with the start of school for my kids. Because I am a source "lumper,"
I have a much easier time editing master sources (only 857 vs.
thousands of individual citations). Then, for the source detail, I am
usually able to utilize the search and replace tools to help me make
changes. Of course, there are some that have to be handled
individually, but it hasn't been too bad and it's worth the costs to
get it right in my opinion.
I'm sure there will be a need to tweak sources once again once v7 is
out, but I'm eager for this because I think it's going to help me get
sources into a Mills style format which is what I want.
Now there are many earlier sources where I failed to enter the
accessed date. Oh well, if I look any of these up again I can use a
current accessed date. However, some of them will probably not get
updated until I come upon them again. The closer I am to my direct
lines, the more care I give to formatting and completeness.

I have been meticulous about sourcing everything in my database, which
I began in 1996 and which has thousands of names. However, I feel
certain that many of you might take issue with my form. If you are
going to adopt Mills' methods or make any other changes to your
sourcing practices in a large database, how do you plan to do that
with a large database?

Everyone likes to say that it's more of an art, but when it gets down
to it, many people on that list will step in and (kindly) say that
there's a better or more correct way than the one I'm currently using.
