[Genealib] Free Session for Librarians at Genealogy Jamboree June 26

[Paula Hinkel]

We are pleased to announce that the 2009 Genealogy Jamboree will feature a
free three-hour session specifically for librarians.  Learn practical tools
for harried librarians trying to provide the best service to genealogists.
Keep current on the best resources - online and in print - and services you
should be providing in your library.  The course will be held Friday, June
26 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at the Burbank Marriott Hotel and Convention
Center in Burbank, California.

"Genealogy Boot Camp for Librarians" will be taught by Thomas Jay Kemp.  Tom
is a well-known librarian and archivist. He is a member of the board of
directors of the Federation of Genealogical Societies, on the Genealogy
Committee of the ALA, and the editor of the Local History & Genealogy
Librarian and Local History & Genealogy Librarian News. 

There is no cost for this session.  However, we do request that you register
for the session online through the Jamboree shopping cart at

night banquet speaker is Dr. Tukufu Zuberi, host of the PBS series "History
Detectives."  Jamboree will be held Friday through Sunday, June 26-28 in

We look forward to seeing you in June!
