FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY PATRON DESKTOP |
|
|
|
|
 |
| |
Many visitors to the Family History Library are interested in learning more about the Family History Library Patron Desktop, which is on all of our computers. We asked Gary Pack, an Information Specialist who helps manage the Library Desktop, to share briefly some of the reasons why it is such a valuable resource for our patrons. Here is his response:
* We now have over 2700 databases available in our "Databases at the Family History Library" link on the Desktop.
* While in the Library, you can get direct access to any of the 2700+ Databases with a link from the Family History Library Catalog. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
* We have over 20 subscription websites that we pay for so you don't have to. These sites which can be used for free at the Library include: Accessible Archives, Ancestry.com, FindMyPast.com, Footnote.com, Godfrey Memorial Library, Heritage Quest Online, JSTOR, NewEnglandAncestors.org, One Great Family and World Vital Records. Come see many others, too!
* We now have COMPLETE access to all of Ancestry.com resources here in the Library. This has put smiles on the faces of many of our guests.
* You can access the Internet, our subscription websites, and print to our printers via our wireless network.
The Patron Desktop is constantly changing and improving. Come visit us to see what we have added this week!. |
