[Genealib] online subscriptions

A caveat as you consider new databases. They are designed to use the latest Macromedia Flash and/or Internet Explorer versions. The problem we run into is the city IT departments does not update our versions but every 2-3 years. We recently signed up for a Footnote trial and had to cancel it because our Flash version is not high enough.

speaking of Footnote...which also brings to mind Genealogybank and WorldVR...we are investigating obtaining these products for our library.  

 

If you use Footnote et al, do you find that it complements AncestryLE and HeritageQO?  do you have all of these, or just certain ones?

I am surprised I have not seen anyone mention Footnote.com.  They are uploading digital images from this microfilm set.  Only 2% complete so far, but they generally move fairly fast.  Our library has an institutional subscription; check with your area libraries.

	Has anyone used this series of microfilm from the National Archives? I
	have a patron who is interested in using the films, but there are 348 in
	the series, divided by application number, so he would have to rent
	several rolls through our Familysearch center. Does anyone know what
	information can be found on these films?
