I am a church service missionary at the Family History Library in Salt Lake. I have been doing genealogy for 4 years and am eager to learn more about the research process so I can help myself and the patrons who visit the library.

Missionary Wiki Projects

29 Jul 2010

Met with David Dilts. He showed me how to find non-copyrighted images by going to Creative Commons and flickr. Before using one of their images, I need to check the creative use license. I can submit my own photos as long as I give permission for use. I was showed how to do that and David loaded some legal jargon onto my flash under Wiki and Images. After choosing a photo, I click on it to make it the biggest file size then save as to the computer. Then on the Wiki page I choose "Upload file", browse and find it and open. Fill out the form that pops up, I can use the legal jargon to help me.

We choose a new project for me. I'm going to help out in the state of Tennessee. I'll be clicking onto each county from the navigation bar at the bottom and checking the footnotes for that county. If there are books, check to make sure the book titles are linked to World Cat. Put the title in Italics and add a FHL if there is one. To edit a footnote, I first click on the up arrow before the citation. Then I click on edit at the top of the page. Click the &lt;R&gt; in the text and then the &lt;R&gt; at the top. This brings up an edit box showing the footnote. Paste the url before the title. "[url (space) title]" If it needs to be italizied add 2 ' before title and 2 after. When copying a URL, copy all the information before the &amp;. &amp; cause big problems in Wiki. I can even cut out some of the codes in the URL to make it smaller and neater. http://worldcat/oclc#  That's all I need.
