Don't Miss the Code - Read / Photocopy Preface

Do you ever get in such a hurry doing research that you miss something important? That is usually my issue. I am trying to make myself slow down and record all of the information needed for a citation. However, during a recent research trip, I didn't follow one of Michael John Neill's tips: Read the Preface.

Because I didn't read the preface or truly study one of the sources I used, I did not realize that the entries incorporated a code for the bibliography citations. As a result, I didn't photocopy the introductory pages that decoded the citations.
