[LegacyUG] Sorting sources

[Pat Hickin]

If I want to start getting my sources better organized and more uniform, 
would it be best to do that now (with v.6 . . .) or wait till we have 
version 7??


Thanks.

Pat:

I'm sorting and cleaning up my Master Source list:  sorting into categories,
putting the names in a uniform format, checking to see that I have
publication data where appropriate, editing repositories and comments, etc.
I'm hoping that starting with a relatively clean and uniform Master Source
list will allow an easier conversion to the new Legacy format--if I choose
to use it.  If I don't like it for some reason, there's no wasted effort.

Hi Pat,

"If I want to start getting my sources better organized and more

If you don't include your sources now, as you enter your data, will you 
remember each and every item you've entered that needs a source attached 
by the time you acquire v7, to go back and add it?  I know I wouldn't.


If I were you, I would either (a) attach source information as the data 
is entered regardless of what version is being used, or (b) hold off 
entering anything new until v7 is installed.  I wouldn't rely on 
remembering to go back and include the source information at a later date.


Hope this helps.  :-)

Kind Regards,
Wendy Howard

Sorry, slow reading my email.  The sources are there, Wendy, just need them 
to be better organized, more uniform/consistent, etc.  I just don't want to 
move components around, etc., and then want to do it differently once I have 
v7.  But there are a lot of things I could do without a problem, I think. 
I'm very much a splitter so there may be a lot to do.
