I would like to know if I can reprint, in my society's blog, the 8 steps to determine if one is an intermediate researcher that I found on the IGHR website in. The 8 statements were written by Sandra H Luebking to help registrants know what course to register for. I want to include those 8 statements in our society blog because Wed evening I gave a presentation on genealogy education. I passed out a form at the presentation created by Elissa Scalise Powell from her presentation on "Choosing the Best Educational Opportunities" found in the learning courses at FamilySearch.org. The first question was to grade your genealogy experience level. I thought giving our society members some way to "grade" themselves would be helpful. I just found these 8 statements at IGHR and would like to copy and paste them into my blog giving full source and citation and, therefore, credit to IGHR and Sandra Luebking. Is that sufficient to allow use of this work? from the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR) ( http://www4.samford.edu/schools/ighr/IGHR_Course02.html) *What's an "Intermediate"? Or should I take Course 1 or Course 2?* 1. An intermediate is familiar with at least one basic how-to guide, i.e., Morgan's *How to Do Everything with Your Genealogy*, Porter and Crow's *Online Roots*, or Renick's *Genealogy 101.* 2. An intermediate has mastered basic record keeping skills: can properly complete a pedigree and family group sheet, and research log; can maintain and organize the genealogical data they have collected; knows a numbering system; and knows how to link entries to properly cited sources. 3. An intermediate has researched in at least one line, four generations, including themselves, or back to 1880, using all records described in IGHR-Course I and citing them properly. 4. An intermediate has conducted 20 or more hours research in a genealogical or historical library AND 20 or more hours research at The Family History Library or a Center. An intermediate has conducted 20 or more hours research in a courthouse. 5. An intermediate has written an appropriate letter of inquiry or placed a coherent query online or in a periodical. 6. An intermediate has properly abstracted and cited an original will or deed, and extracted a census entry accurately, and understands the difference between an original and derivative source. 7. An intermediate has become reasonably proficient in the use of the more common 20th century county sources, i.e., vitals, newspapers, cemeteries, probate, and land records, as well as post-1880 federal censuses. 8. An intermediate belongs to one or more genealogical societies and is aware of the national-level groups. Prepared by Sandra H. Luebking Thanks Margie in Washington State

When you copy something in its entirety you have gone past the principle of "fair use." You would need permission from the author. If you don't want to do that, you can just give the website address for the IGHR page you are referencing and let your readers access it themselves. You could type up an intro paragraph introducing it and explaining why you think it is so helpful. Hmmmmm... I feel a blog post of my own starting to form :) Michele -----Original Message----- From: transitional-genealogists-forum-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:transitional-genealogists-forum-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of M.
