Sharon and the rest
This should answer about all your questions Amber. No sense in any of us reinventing the wheel when Sharon has done such a wonderful job on this site. Just viewed it myself and found ideas I will use in my next genealogy classes. Kudos to Sharon for all her hard work. We do have some amazing persons on this list and its great that we all love to share! Guess we were taught this rule early on from our families!
Thank you Sharon!

  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

    Hello Everyone, 
    I am currently in my second year of library school at the University of Washington's Information School and in my first quarter of a genealogy year-long class. I am putting together a small article about Genealogy and Librarianship for the Information School's student newspaper.  Our library school does not have any classes or workshops that focus on the skills and helpful resources when assisting patrons with genealogical based questions/research. If you have the time, could you answer the following questions for me. 

    1. What books or article would you recommend library school students read to prepare for these types of reference interactions? 
    2. What genealogy resources would you recommend library school students become acquainted with to prepare for these interactions? 
    3. What other advice would you give library school students about genealogy and Libraries? 

    Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. 

    Amber Brock
