[Genealib] Serving Genealogy Patrons: A Librarian's Guide

[Joy Rich]

The 26th Annual Conference on Jewish Genealogy is only five weeks away!

"Serving Genealogy Patrons: A Librarian's Guide" will be presented by Toni Raptis,
MLS, at the conference on Monday, August 14, 4:45 p.m.-6:00 p.m. Toni is Reference
Librarian at the Patchogue-Medford Library.

In her lecture, she will examine the Genealogy Reference Interview process and effective
methods of helping patrons with their research. She will look at various approaches for
working with patrons who are just beginning their research and those patrons who are well
into their family history but simply need help with the brick walls they've run into.
She'll also discuss the best genealogy resources to have in a library collection. Handouts
will include getting started packets, interview forms, and a Genealogy Research To Do List
for the patron.
