[Genealib] Ancestry Library Edition Subscriptions

[Larry Naukam]

In our situation there are 35 libraries in the system. Only 1 (us) decided
to go with Ancestry. They charge, I believe, by audience, and with a city of
250,000, the smaller towns (the one room libraries) didn't feel they could
make the financial requirement. I am not on the group that decides such
things (but used to be). The way it works by us is system by system; not by
consortia; and anyone who comes in can sit down and use it, no library card
required. Available only in house. 

 

Heritage Quest, by contrast, does allow remote access via internet, provided
that they have a valid library card which is entered at login. That too has
a subscription fee, but in this case the towns all went for it, so it's a
choice off one of the database pages.
