Hi Everyone: I wanted to send this message out and remind every one of our meeting tomorrow night. Our regular scheduled meeting will take place at 6:30 PM. However, we will not be meeting at the Lafayette Public Library like normal. We will be meeting at the Dupre library instead. Note: For those members on the committee. Please come a half an hour early, so we can have a committee meeting. Our class will be "Different Tricks For Success With Internet Research" If I can have my laptop fixed today, I can show what kinds of items can be found. Other wise the class will just have hand out with sites that you can use to further your research. This should be a very informative class <G> Hope to see you all there! FYI Earlier this month I was sent this email from a company I deal with. From what I have read, I think this program would be of great to help us all. It would allow us to see what records we need to search. In addition, helping us create research logs, etc. If you would like to learn more about GenSmarts I have included the email below.
