<p class="MsoNormal">Do any of you subscribe to the library edition of Ancestry.com? What are your thoughts on it? Is it well-used / well-liked by your patrons? Do you simultaneously subscribe to Heritage Quest?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are considering adding Ancestry.com to our online resources here at Deschutes Public. (We currently have Heritage Quest). We are concerned by the lack of remote access to the database, but feel that the inclusion of global records
would be a benefit to our customers – perhaps enough of a benefit to overcome the access issue and draw customers into the library.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your thoughts would be appreciated. Please respond to me off-list. I’d be happy to compile an anonymous summary of responses and share with anyone interested.<o:p></o:p></p>
