Event Description
What is the Digital Public Library of America? What can I find in Chilton besides wiring diagrams? What does Fold3 mean, and why is it an important genealogical resource? Where do I even start with HeritageQuest? And how is it different from Ancestry? What's so special about Hobbies & Crafts Source and Home Improvement Source? Join this session to be surprised, delighted, and better informed about several of the resources in the Ohio Web Library.
