Genealogy: A Practical Guide for Librarians covers the big picture of genealogy and evidence-based research, plus the variety and availability of many record types, but also provides practical advice for both researchers and librarians. It offers a critical analysis of many general and specialized sites, including Ancestry.com, and reviews the numerous options for continuing education in genealogy. It touches on topics such as the handling and storage of personal documents, photo scanning, cemetery research, indexing/transcription errors, and DNA testing.
