Nelms, W. (1979). Using Local History and Genealogy To Build Library Support. Library Journal, 104(6), 686. Retrieved from Academic Search Premier.
Public librarians are now in the local history and genealogy business. American's are more interested in local affairs and their family backgrounds than they ever have been before, and expect their local library to be the place to find such information. Libraries need to see this need and desire for this information and act accordingly by improving their collections. However, space and budgets are two major things that can prevent building these collections. This article provides different ways to increase their genealogical and local collections without breaking their bank.
Although this article is rather old being printed in 1979, the tips are still very much useful for today's public libraries.
