Re: [LegacyUG] facebook becomes a primary source

2014-11-09 Thread Brian/Support 
I use a SourceWriter style source using the Message broads/forum template.
Name Facebook
Name of Forum Facebook
Type of Forum Social Network
URL www.Facebook.com

Using that template the details for each citation include:
Author Last Name
Author Given names
Author Suffix
Title: If it is a status update I use the intro to the post for data
from info pages such as About I use the name of the page.
Date: The date of the post for status updates, I usually leave this
blank for about info unless that includes a date.
Date Access: self explanatory

I will also usually use copy and paste from Facebook to complete the
Text of the source.

Re: [LegacyUG] facebook becomes a primary source

I have created a Basic Source:

Source List Name: Website - Facebook.com
Type: Web Site
Title: www.facebook.com

All other fields are blank.

When I use this source, I put the pertinent information about the post
concerned in the Source Detail, ie the name of the person under whose
account the post was made (their real name as well as their Facebook
name, if they're different), the date of the post, when I read it
("retrieved"). Depending on the situation, I often also put a copy of
the post itself in the Text field.

Hope this helps. :-)

Wendy

RE: [LegacyUG] facebook becomes a primary source

2014-11-09 Thread Michele/Support 
Barb,

I wouldn’t use Facebook as a source per se.  I would use the PERSON that owns 
the Facebook page as the source.  I would either use the personal knowledge 
template or maybe the interview template.  In the detail comments I would write 
HOW the person knows the birth or death to be true.  If it is the mother or 
father of the baby posting then it is a no brainer.  “John is Megan’s father 
and was present at the birth.”If it is a death, “Mary is the Josephine’s 
daughter and was present at the hospital when she died.”



As far the as the photos go, make sure you get permission to download and use 
them in your file. I use the photo notes area for this information.   “Photo by 
David Anderson, used with permission.”

How are listers handling facebook as a source for births, deaths, and etc?  
During the past month I’ve received notification of two deaths and two births 
through facebook..  The births had pictures from the hospital. 



I would appreciate your thoughts regarding the use of these and how you 
document and use the photos.
