"This book offers novice and experienced reference librarians an introduction to tried-and-true genealogy techniques and resources. With the help of four case studies, Simpson outlines a basic starting strategy for conducting genealogy research. Later chapters deal specifically with genealogical librarianship: how to conduct a reference interview, continuing and professional development, and basic resources every collection should have. Charts, screen shots, and examples of public documents are also included, while a series of appendices present the case studies in their entirety."--Page 4 of cover. No library descriptions found. |

Unfortunately, I'm a genealogist who needs to learn how to be a librarian. For me, this book wasn't very helpful -- just a couple of chapters, with mostly references to other resources. ( )
