[Genealib] Literature Review Assistance

[Martha Grenzeback]

As search terms, perhaps try "reference interview" combined with 
"genealogy," or "genealogical," particularly in the Library 
Literature and Information Science Full Text database. One article 
possibly of interest:  Francis, L. S. "The Genealogy Reference 
Interview." PNLA Quarterly v. 68 no. 3 (Spring 2004) p. 13-15.

Good luck!
