[Genealib] Help..MLIS Student Job Research

[Kim O'Reilly]

Hi,

Our system has a local history/genealogy specialist at our Main Branch.
We have a lot of customers doing this kind of research and it's very
important to have a resource person who is knowledgeable and familiar
with resources, both internal and external.  I absolutely think it helps
to have someone who has done some family history research on their own.
