Librarian's Genealogy Notebook (ALA Readers' Advisory)

Genealogical research is one of the fastest growing pastimes in the United States, and libraries are the first stop for those eager to find their roots.

The Librarian's Genealogy Notebook includes the most concise and useful information on where to begin your search for genealogical records. The introduction provides the information librarians need to help patrons get started on their family histories. Author Dahrl E. Moore helps librarians mine their own libraries for reference sources that might already be available, includes useful advice on obtaining information from external sources, and also offers general sources libraries may want to provide access to or own.

Both location and access are provided. Easy to use checklists help librarians direct patrons to the right information throughout their research.
