Christine, Until there is a template dealing with this example, I would use the "Add a Generic Source" and then the "Website" model. Since this is a transcript on the website and not the actual book, I would enter the information for the website and deal with the name of the book in the detail page and the information for the book under comments. In the item of interest I would mention the name of the book, transcribed by whoever entered the transcription (if different from the website author). The problem with all of this is that websites change... I can't tell you how many times that I have used a website, returning to it weeks or months later, to find that the item was removed from the website.
I would probably add a "to do" in my research to find the actual book and make appropriate changes to the source, using the authored book template. (Or if it is not possible to find the actual book, you might ask for someone to look it up for you to supply the page number etc, listing in your source that it is not verified) I am having another problem trying to figure out what I would call the Master Source, for my own use. I guess I might call it KS name of county, website or something like that. Your query shows how difficult it is to have a Source Conversion Tool. I can't imagine how many different ways people would have used their Master Source to enter just this type of source. I have looked through Evidence Explained trying to find an exact example for this particular problem, but have not been able to find it. There is example of when a page was scanned and copied to a website, or when a record (such as a death certificate) was transcribed, but there is no mention that I have found, of how to deal with the transcription of an authored book.

Which template should be used when a published book has been transcribed on a website? I've fiddled with all the available templates and none allow you to enter all the details. Example: Main website: State Library of Kansas - http://www.kslib.info/index.html At the bottom of the page is a link to Blue Skyways- http://www.skyways.org/ At this link, you perform a search, which produces a page with the result: Transcribed from A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, written and compiled by William E. Connelley, Secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, Topeka. [Revised ed.] Chicago: Lewis Publishing Co., 1919, c1918. 5 v. (xlviii, 2530 p., [155] leaves of plates): ill., maps (some fold.), ports.; 27 cm. Text of the book (page numbers not provided)... Advice, as always, much appreciated!
