Basic Format is the old sourcing tool, which many of us still use. When creating your next source, do some exploring to compare both. Go to Master Source List, on the right side are a couple check boxes. Choose either Source Writer or Basic System for comparison purposes. When choosing Basic, first you must pick BS, then go to add, the computer asks do you really want to do this. Say yes to see what is there. You can delete it all afterwards. The short names for these 2 are SW and Basic.

When entering a source using the SourceWriter, can someone tell me what they mean by "Basic format" e.g. Books > Book, authored > Two authors > Basic format I have been assuming that Basic format means that you have (or have viewed) a hard copy of the book, but the form that is provided in SW doesn't really contain spaces for all of the citation details that I would expect. This "Basic format" shows up in a number of the source templates but this happens to be one that I'm looking at right now. Any help with this - or suggestions on a better source "medium" to choose if you have a hard copy of the source will be appreciated!
