William R. Cutter, et al (editors), Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Founding of a Nation, Volume IV (New York, N.Y. : Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911).
I found this book on the shelf at a local library (and I don't recall which one!) back in the 1990 time frame and I made a photocopy of the Wade sketch that had her name. However, I had not transcribed the information - I had only entered it into my genealogy database directly from the photocopy of the pages.
In my RootsMagic file, I had made a free-form source citation for this on-the-shelf item, with the template looking like this:
The source citation for the birth information in the published book is:
Footnote: William R. Cutter, et al (editors) Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Founding of a Nation, Volume IV (New York, N.Y. : Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911), in "Wade" sketch, page 2125, Miranda Wade birth.
Short Footnote: Cutter, Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut, in "Wade" sketch, page 2125, Miranda Wade birth.
Bibliography: Cutter, William R. Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut. New York, N.Y. : Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911.
Since this book was published in 1911, I figured that it was online at Google Books, so I did a search for [ cutter genealogies connecticut miranda wade ] to see if I could find it without digging through my bookcases and then scanning the pages.
It was one of the first matches, and I clicked on it and page 2125 with Miranda's name opened:
To cite this book found on Google Books, I needed to add the book publication information plus the Google information. To get the book publication information, I clicked on the link for "About this book" in the left-hand column. Here is the publication information about the book:
I copied and pasted most of the information into the source template for "Book, image copy (online)" in RootsMagic 6, and then added the Google information and the source detail information:
Note that I didn't put all of the authors names, I substituted "et al" for them.
The resulting source citation for the Google Book copy of the published book is:
Footnote: William R. Cutter et al, editors, Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut: A Record of the Achievements of Her People in the Making of a Commonwealth and the Founding of a Nation, Volume IV (New York, N.Y.: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911), in "Wade" sketch, page 2125, Miranda Wade birth; digital images, Google, Google Books (http://books.google.com : accessed 19 September 2014).
Short Footnote: Cutter, Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut, in "Wade" sketch, page 2125, Miranda Wade birth.
Bibliography: Cutter, William R. et al, editors.

New York, N.Y.: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911. Digital images. Google. Google Books. http://books.google.com : 2014.
As you can see, the only significant difference is the added "layer" of the Google information.
