Although it sometimes seemed a hassle to get this done, it was well worth doing. I had never used Archive Grid or Camio before so learned a lot there. I am not much of a genealogist (I'd rather find the stories than the names) but that resource is something that would be used a lot here. We are lucky to have our local genealogy group host open sessions at the library once a month.
I think it would be useful to promote these resources through classes at the library but we would have to come up with something more catchy than "Database usage" -- perhaps "Beyond Wikipedia". Anyway, mostly we will have to keep ourselves reminded of the resources so that when a patron is looking for something that will pop into our head as well as books and magazines.
Thanks for all the comments and keeping us on track.
