Thanks to Paul and other staff at the State Library for providing another forum in which we can share information and ideas. <BR/><BR/>I agree that the Internet has advanced genealogical research in many ways. It provides a forum to share information and ideas with a much larger group of people quickly and efficiently. Although genealogists can find a lot using the Internet, there is still a whole world of information only available using more traditional resources such as manuscripts, books and microforms in public, academic and society libraries and archives. Until the last piece of paper is digitized, well indexed, easily searchable and most importantly accessible to all users, we’ll still need to rely on combining both traditional and new forms of resources, research methods and access. <BR/><BR/>Government documents are often ignored because these collections can be intimidating and not always easily accessible. I’m glad to know that the State Library will be serving our community “virtually” by shedding light on state government documents of value to genealogists and historians. I and many others look forward to seeing what genealogical gems the State Library digs up from this collection and shares with us all.<BR/><BR/>Russ Pollitt<BR/>Columbus Metropolitan Library<BR/>rpollitt@columbuslibrary.orgRusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387778526404637405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777546875018860493.post-84177137669868015602007-08-28T08:59:00.000-07:002007-08-28T08:59:00.000-07:00I certainly welcome this alternate way to find out...I certainly welcome this alternate way to find out info for our genealogy patrons. We certainly can all use any suggestions for this cause. Kathy's suggestion is certainly a valid one to consider.<BR/>Thanks Paul and all involved!<BR/><BR/>Sandy Day<BR/>Public Library of Steubenville<BR/>daysa@oplin.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777546875018860493.post-85611651585390001842007-08-27T10:52:00.000-07:002007-08-27T10:52:00.000-07:00I think this is a great idea and long overdue. Wh...I think this is a great idea and long overdue. Why haven't we seen this advertized somewhere?? (Or maybe it just hasn't filtered down the chain of managers to me yet??) May I suggest an email on the GenLib listserve?? It's the quickest way I know of to contact every librarian interested in genealogy in the state!<BR/>Kathy @ MCDLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
