[Genealib] Online Genealogy Class

[Rhonda Konig]

If you have computers for everyone I would recommend having extra 
staff to help those who aren't as computer literate.  You could 
perhaps co-sponsor the class with your local genealogical society or 
historical society and ask them for volunteers to assist these 
patrons.  I would also recommend saving some class time for patrons 
to search on their own.
