Heads up for a new scam? Read from the bottom up. My response: Hello "Amy", We need much more information than you have provided. Whenever someone requests donations of potentially valuable genealogical Iowa books and materials for some vague, nebulous, "maybe-4-years-in-the-future" library, which may or may not allow free access to the public, red flags are raised. Amy ?, please be more specific as to how these genealogy materials would be used. Would they be free to the public? Would they be placed for free access on the internet? How will Iowa genealogical materials benefit you in California? Would you collect a fee for access to the materials and if so, would you acquire full rights to this material? We will need your full name and the name of the college/university you are affiliated with which we can contact to ensure that you are a legitimate student and enrolled in a course to secure your Masters of Library Science degree. Amy ?, you'll have to be much more specific as to how these materials will be used. As of now, I would heartily advise IAGenWeb IAScott listers and anyone else who receives your post to exercise caution in complying with your request. Sincerely, Elaine Rathmann ACC IAGenWebProject Scott County Co Coord.

I am looking to open a genealogy library in California after I receive my masters in Library Science. (probably at least 4 years from now). Also, if anyone wants to send their family pedigrees or history to me that would be great too! Feel free to email me with any questions.
