The 26th Annual Conference on Jewish Genealogy is only five weeks away! "Serving Genealogy Patrons: A Librarian's Guide" will be presented by Toni Raptis, MLS, at the conference on Monday, August 14, 4:45 p.m.-6:00 p.m. Toni is Reference Librarian at the Patchogue-Medford Library.
In her lecture, she will examine the Genealogy Reference Interview process and effective methods of helping patrons with their research. She will look at various approaches for working with patrons who are just beginning their research and those patrons who are well into their family history but simply need help with the brick walls they've run into. She'll also discuss the best genealogy resources to have in a library collection. Handouts will include getting started packets, interview forms, and a Genealogy Research To Do List for the patron.
