Laurie -----Original Message----- WORLDCAT ADS TO APPEAR IN GENEALOGY MAGAZINES In response to requests by librarians for help in marketing library
resources to patrons, OCLC has placed small ads promoting libraries as the
source of an excellent genealogical research tool - WorldCat on FirstSearch -
in three popular genealogy magazines. These ads will run for a year in
Everton's Genealogical Helper, Family Chronicle, and the FGS Forum, starting
with their May/June or Summer 2006 issues. OCLC chose genealogy due to the
depth and breadth of printed and digitized online historical material
represented in WorldCat and due to the popularity of genealogy in general. Libraries may also download materials promoting WorldCat for
genealogical research from
<http://www.oclc.org/firstsearch/support/promoting/default.htm>
including: * the base magazine ad, * a full page ad OCLC has placed in major genealogy conference
syllabi, and * a bookmark promoting WorldCat on FirstSearch for genealogical
research. All of these materials point to the WorldCat: focus on genealogy web
site (<http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/genealogy/>),
which explains to genealogists why WorldCat is an effective genealogical
research tool, explains how to find it or ask for it at their library, and
includes a detailed tutorial on how to use WorldCat on FirstSearch for
genealogical research. Deborah L. Bendig Product Manager, Discovery View WorldCat OCLC Online Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 1-800-848-5878, ext. 5084 or 1-614-761-5084 Fax: 1-614-718-7433 <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat> http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/genealogy/
