*Course material will only be sent to students who are registered in the course.

A fundamental component of library service is matching users with their information needs. With genealogy, the assistance rarely ends with the provision of sources. Many genealogists seek further assistance accessing and decoding the information. To further complicate the matter, the language and arrangement of genealogical sources vary widely from source to source. There is no single, standard language or format used in genealogy reference materials. Librarians can offer the best assistance when they have a thorough knowledge of sources and how they work.
