[Genealib] Ancestry Library Edition Subscriptions

[Tracy Luscombe]

I believe remote access is not available per the "rules" of MyFamily.com
which is the owner of Ancestry.com. 
 
Ours is on our library computers and available to anyone who wants to
sit down and use those computers.

Subject: [Genealib] Ancestry Library Edition Subscriptions



I'm looking into how most libraries, especially those in the US and
provinces outside of Ontario, purchase their subscriptions to Ancestry
Library Edition?  Are there subscriptions purchased at the State or
Provincial level for all libraries in that state/province?  Are
libraries purchasing their subscriptions via other consortia or
individually?  Is access only available in-library or does remote access
exist in your library? 

With the amount of Canadian content being added, I've had a number of
patrons asking about having access via our library rather than taking
out a personal subscription.  Our neighbouring library systems who do
have it charge non-resident fees for access to their libraries, so it's
garnering a lot of attention for our community. 

Warmest regards, 

Elise
