I'll be speaking at the New Jersey Library Association Conference on Tuesday, April 28, at 1:30.For the sake of the Garden State librarians who are attending, I will refrain from making any references to Bruce Springsteen, the Sopranos or Bon Jovi in my presentation.
The title of my talk is "Surviving a Genealogy Reference Interview."Here are some of the resources I'll be discussing in my talk:
Books:
Szucs, Loretto Dennis, and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking.
The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy.
Provo, UT: Ancestry, 2006.
Simpson, Jack.
Basics of Genealogy Reference: A Librarian's Guide.
Westport, Conn: Libraries Unlimited, 2008.
