-.3 Sources
+==== 3.3 Sources ====
+The CERL Thesaurus records three types of sources for the information given in a record: reference works, editions printed/written by the described entity and books owned by the described person or corporate body.
+There is no prescribed syntax or a controlled list of abbreviations for reference works in the "Found In" field.
+The CERL Thesaurus is neither a bibliographic nor a provenance database, so editions and copies should be recorded only as sources of evidence. Complete lists of works printed, written or owned by an entity should be provided elsewhere (e.g. HPB, HPB-Item, MEI etc) and a link should be made from the Thesaurus record instead.
+For a detailed description of the available fields and the input convention applying see:
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:290]]
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:291]]
+  * [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:292]]
+Sources that apply to a specific piece of information only (such as bibliographic data or an individual variant name form) should be recorded in that particular field.
