Most short courses in genealogical librarianship actually focus on genealogy and only discuss library concerns briefly. This course seeks to reverse that. While a brief introduction to genealogy will be given, the majority of the course will focus on collection development, reference interviews, programming, and support for genealogical researchers. By the end of the course you will understand how genealogy reference interviews differ from normal reference interviews. You will also be familiar with the core print and online references needed to support most basic genealogical questions. Finally, you will have been introduced to some of the resources that can help you develop programming or be used in other ways to support your genealogical reference activities.
