[Genealib] What if....

[Berger, Camilla]

Check your catalog and see if there are sets which are not complete.
Consider adding a part 3 or 4 of an item which is missing those, or a new
volume that is lacking, or even a new edition of an item you already have.
See if there is a newly produced index for an item you have that is not
indexed.  If there is a state or even a county that is more in demand than
others, purchase more materials.  I buy nationally significant titles first,
state second, and more local materials (except for our own state and county)
last.  This would probably also be a good opportunity to purchase materials
for states that are not as much in demand, such as some of the western
states.  Make sure you have any book titles listed in the bibliography for
such things as the Passenger and Immigration List Index.  County histories
are almost always useful.

your genealogy department had more money than you knew what to do with, say
$200,000 that had to be spent in the next couple of weeks, How would you
spend it? Materials purchases only. Your suggestions are most welcomed.  

thanks
