Kathy, Do you have a membership card in a library that subscribes to Heritage Quest? If not, you would need to get one. Usually, your own library has it free for their members to use at home. If you library doesn't have it, one over in the next county does. I paid $15 for a library card at one of the libraries across he line. I've never had to renew. Even though our county library is free, one has to get a new card every year. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kshepard" <menotyou17@yahoo.com> To: <germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 1:35 PM Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Heritage Quest what's the code to enter?

Kathy, Thank you for another avenue to explore. Our city library does not have control over their finances, as our city allots the library system a certain amount to spend each year, and thats it, and of course every year the library gets less money. We have NEVER had Heritage Quest, period and the chances of ever getting it is zero since it is very easy for our city to find other places to spend our tax dollars! Thanks for the idea to check other library systems in the area.

Cary, I was a bit taken aback by Kathy's request for another members access code. You are quite right. Go get your own library card and use it. I have several. Some libraries offer this, and others that. Many offer out of locale memberships for a small fee. For example, for just $10 I have a card to a nearby regional library which gives me access to JSTOR. My access code is my library card number. I would NEVER hand that to anyone. My local library offers Heritage Quest. I have access to other databases by virtue of being a volunteer, provided I don't use those sites during business hours. It is rather cheesy to ask people for free access codes. That is the surest say to get kicked off of them. To Kathy, you have many options other than your apparently bankrupt local library. Your state library, nearby libraries and larger more metropolitan/regional libraries. I urge you to use those options.

Wow, wish I could get access to Heritage Quest thru the local library for $15.00. The library I do have access to, that dropped home use for Heritage Quest charges $125.00 for non residents to get a library card. Guess I should check around the county and see if there are any $15.00 ones I can use.

Thanks for the tip on checking the nearby counties. I just found it for free for California residents at the Los Angeles County Library. They do have Heritage Quest, and I believe it's available online to card holders...

Do you know if it would be free for residents of San Diego County? Do you have to go to LA to apply?

Chocy and all, The Rappahannock Regional Library System based in Fredericksburg, VA offers out of area memberships and a variety of benefitis for a fee. HOWEVER, joining from afar may prove to be a challenge as many proofs of residence and identity are required. I would think one's local or state libraries would be a far much simpler option. You can visit their web site at librarypoint.org to learn more about how one such system may work.

Chocy, I haven't gotten into it yet, but they do have a very good web page/site where I did get the information. I live about 3 miles from the L. A. county line, so I'll just head over to the closest branch available.
