[Genealib] Web display of digitized photos

Mon May 14 19:13:59 EDT 2007

We also use the Halinet product at the Cobourg Public Library and have 
over 1000 images online. It is extremely easy to use, and very 
user-friendly. It has and can be tailored to meet the requirements of 
archives, libraries, art galleries and museums. We are now in the 
process of inputting all the Historical Society Archives photographs 
onto this system also.(Over 100,000!) What is really nice, is when 
patrons google 'Cobourg Images" they automatically will get to this 
site. The tech support is quite quick and very personal. If you haven't 
chosen, it is definately one to search out.
