Ancestry #2
Well I finally was able to access Ancestry with a click and go. Come to find out our library has two IP Internet addresses and most of our computers were not registered with the resources. I should have questioned this in the beginning when for each resource challenge I was prompted with a username and password. This should have only happened with WorldCat because of ILL's. This was definitely a learning experience in and of itself. After logging my name into Ancestry I was shocked to see how many Edith M. Hoopers there are in the world. It did list me, however, and all of the places I've ever lived plus even the street addresses. I'm sure as I delve into this resource further, I will be able to find out much more about myself and my family. It will also be a great resource for our patrons as they will now be able to click and go to find information:) Oh, and I realize now that I should have looked up information according to my maiden name.
