for example:-

Transcribing, Extracting, And Abstracting Genealogical Records - This course lays out the techniques for transcribing, abstracting, and abstracting genealogical documents. Practice exercises are not given. Rather, it is expected that you will be able to apply the techniques to your own work and practice on your own.
In addition, this course lays out the techniques for citing your sources. The documents that we transcribe, abstract, and extract are often paper documents and are found in repositories. Ample space is given to the principles of documentation so that you will be able to fully identify your sources.
The course is a manual that you can use over and over again as you work through the research process.
