Finding Printed Sources Using the Internet

By Tom Rice

This one-hour lecture will demonstrate the use of the Internet to find books, articles and manuscripts relating to your family. Because “it is not all on the web and never will be,” a genealogist needs to know how to find printed matter in libraries and archives using online tools. Tom will focus on web-based book and manuscript finding tools such as WorldCat, NUCMC and MNLink, the inter-library loan tool for Minnesotans. He will demonstrate use of Zotero, a Firefox extension, to capture bibliographic citations from library catalog listings.

Tom Rice is a Certified Genealogist, Managing Editor of Septs, the journal of the Irish Genealogical Society International, and an instructor in the MGS Intermediate Genealogy Course.
