Ancestry for the Holidays
With the holidays fast approaching, ProQuest is offering a webinar titled "Ancestry for the Holidays." The webinar will describe the similarities and differences between Ancestry Library Edition and Ancestry.com, and how to assist patrons who want to use Ancestry Library Edition for holiday gift ideas and family research.

ProQuest will also have other genealogy webinars through the beginning of 2020 on that website.
A Note from the Research and Innovation Coordinator
[https://myneotoday.org/photos/35595_02132017081803.jpg]It’s hard to believe that we are already heading towards the end of November! It is around this time that patrons might be asking about or researching what cool new tech gadgets are out and available for the holidays. If you do a search online, there are dozens and dozens of articles that provide their own lists of great tech. Each year, we sift through all those articles and do our own research to come up with a list of gadgets for the year, and we present them in our yearly webinar, “Tech Toys for the Holidays.” This year, we covered over 80 different tech devices from e-health to smart tech to kids’ tech and more. In addition to making this an informative webinar for library staff, we tell libraries that they can use our PowerPoint to put on their own tech toys program for the holidays. You can add or subtract from our slides, and include whatever suits your community best. You can also print it out and create a “holiday booklet” if you would like. The holidays can get busy, so we want to make programming more convenient for you. To access the archived webinar, click here<http://bit.ly/TechToysArchive2019>.
