We redoubled our efforts to provide Nparents and caregivers with the tools necessary to help children become ready to read—a predictor of future academic success. Through weekly classes at every library, by increasing outreach to daycare providers Life Expanded and preschools and in building stronger partnerships with the public schools, we Anne Arundel County Public Library are seeing results. Last year more than 86,000 children, parents and caregivers attended our early literacy classes and we reached 10,000 more at community events. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Officers We remain committed to school readiness and so we’ve changed the name of our education programs to M Hall Worthington – Chairman Every Child Ready to Read.

TITLE An Evaluation of Genealogical Collections as Perceived by the Members of the Ohio Genealogical Society, Summit County Chapter. PUB DATE 1998-05-00 NOTE 82p.; Master's Research Paper, Kent State University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040)-- Reports - Research (143) Tests/Questionnaires (160) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; *Genealogy; Information Seeking; *Information Services; *Information Sources; Information Technology; Mail Surveys; Questionnaires; Research Methodology; *Resource Materials; User Needs (Information); *User Satisfaction (Information) IDENTIFIERS Ohio; Research Results ABSTRACT This paper reports on a study conducted to determine: (1) if current users of genealogical collections are satisfied with the collections they most frequently use;(2) which types of materials are provided by genealogical collections;(3) which types of materials are deemed most important by the users of the genealogical collection; and (4) possible reasons why users may be satisfied or unsatisfied with genealogical collections. Mail surveys were sent to 221 members of the Ohio Genealogical Society, Summit County Chapter, for a return rate of 52% (115). Demographic and user satisfaction data are discussed and presented in table form. Findings indicated that the most available items appeared to be traditional' secondary sources; approximately 86% of the respondents were either satisfied of very satisfied with the material available, satisfaction appeared to be greatest among those items containing the most information, and technological sources were too new to satisfy the more conservative audience; training could improve satisfaction levels regarding technological resources; and overall the respondents were satisfied with the collections they evaluated.

History and Genealogy: A Study of the Relationship between Genealogical Research and Interest in History. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. April, 2015. 50 pages. Advisor: Helen Tibbo Genealogists make up an important segment of libraries’ and archives’ user population. This study explores the connection between genealogical research and interest in history to better understand user interests and needs. A survey of three North Carolina genealogical societies was compared to the answers of graduate students at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. The results indicate that genealogists tended to be more interested in history in general than the students and revealed some common motivations for genealogical research between the two groups. Both groups enjoyed learning the context of ancestors’ lives, exploring the continuity of family traits, and building a narrative. Distinct from the students, genealogists also tended to like community, the learning process, and problem-solving. These findings can help information professionals develop more effective resources for and provide better service to their genealogist patrons.
