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

[Laura Spurrier]

Joy,
	I'm sure librarians all over the country will be asking for copies  
of Toni Raptis's lecture and her hand-outs.  I know I'd like a set  
for my library.  You might consider running multiple copies and  
selling them at a reasonable cost as a fund-raiser for your group.   
Please let the people on Genealib know.  Thanks.
