[Genealib] Advice for Library School Students - FREE TUTORIAL!

[Sharon Centanne]

Hello Amber and All,

I recommend to all Library School students and all librarians serving 
genealogists that you read and study my large free online tutorial 
"Librarian's Guide to Helping Patrons with Genealogical Research"
available online at http://home.tampabay.rr.com/centans/genguide.html.  
This tutorial goes into detail from a librarian helping
her patrons point of view, and includes a "site map" Table of Contents.

I originally began this as a library school project ten years ago, and 
have kept updating it. All the pages (totaling almost 50 pages now) have 
been updated this year, and some new pages have been added.

If you have any questions, you can write to me at centans at tampabay.rr.com

Thank you,

Sharon Centanne
Genealogical Research Instructor since 1982
