52 Weeks to Better Genealogy - Challenge 4

It was great to meet Amy Coffin (of the We Tree Blog www.wetree.blogspot.com) and Thomas MacEntee and other GeneaBloggers at the Family History Expo in Mesa last weekend.

Amy has put together a great series of weekly blog prompts to help those new to genealogy and those who would like to strengthen on some genealogy/family history skills. These prompts are listed on www.geneabloggers.com -- a valuable shared community resource. Here is this weeks challenge.

52 Weeks To Better Genealogy - Challenge 4

Learn about your local public library’s inter-library loan (ILL) policy. Pick a genealogy-related book that you want to read that is not in your library’s collection. Ask the librarian how to request the book from another library. Find the different library systems from which you can request books through your own library, as this can dramatically increase the number of genealogy books to which you have access. If you have a genealogy blog, write about your experience with requesting items through your library’s ILL service.

This challenge runs from Saturday, 23 January 2010 through Friday, 29January 2010.

The latest posts on this challenge are listed from GeneaBlogger members on http://www.geneabloggers.com/ You may be interested in reading about their experiences.
