Hello all, The below is clipped & pasted form this weeks Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. (from another list I belong to) Sheryl ***** LDS Family History Library Catalog Now Available on CD-ROM A new Family History Library Catalog on CD-ROM has been announced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormons). According to the announcement, the new catalog will allow users to peruse the Family History Library's extensive collection to select searchable resources before travelling to a local Family History Center. This new version of the catalog: * Describes the Church's collection of family history materials, which consists of over 2.5 million microforms and 300,000 books. * Adds searches by keyword, title, author, and call number to the place, surname, subject, and film number searches. * Lets users mark information for easy future retrieval. * Maintains a history of records reviewed during each search. The new CD-ROM requires: * Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0+ * Pentium processor (or higher) * 8MB RAM minimum (16 MB recommended) * 4x CD-ROM drive * VGA monitor with 256-color-capable video card * 4MB hard-disk space * Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (or higher) * Desktop area of 800 by 600 pixels recommended Now comes the best part: the price.
