52 Weeks To Better Genealogy – Challenge 4
Learn about your local public library’s inter-library loan (ILL) policy. Pick a genealogy-related book that you want to read that is not in your library’s collection. Ask the librarian how to request the book from another library. Find the different library systems from which you can request books through your own library, as this can dramatically increase the number of genealogy books to which you have access. If you have a genealogy blog, write about your experience with requesting items through your library’s ILL service.
This challenge runs from Saturday, 23 January 2010 through Friday, 29January 2010.

Posted 24 Jan 2010 at 16:40 ¶Just a caution – many genealogy books are in non-circulating library collections, which means they must be used in-house (they aren’t even checked out to local patrons), and often may not go out on an interlibrary loan. Case in point: http://abt-unk.blogspot.com/2010/01/52-weeks-to-better-genealogy.html
