Although one has to always remember “There is no ultimate database that has every record ever,” there are some fine genealogical databases available in cyberspace. Numbering among those fine resources is Ancestry Library Edition, which just so happens to be the most used database that the BCL provides to its customers (which, incidentally, the BDC funds through its collection development monies). There are two opportunities for you to register directly with ProQuest, our vendor for ALE, for a free ALE webinar at your home or office:
Wed., Nov. 23, 2011 3:00 pm Ancestry Library Edition (ALE) - US Focus
Mon., Dec. 12, 2011 2:00 pm Ancestry Library Edition (ALE) - US Focus
Go to http://proquest.com/en-US/support/training/webinars.shtml and click on “Genealogy” for the webinar list and to register for a session.
