Extractions: Fair Use Guidelines for Educational Multimedia ... Tackling Information Tasks Constructing a Resouce Guide Using these directions, you will be able to prepare a Resource Guide to your major or primary minor area of academic study. The Resource Guide will 1) help you, and possibly other students, identify resources in a broad area of study and 2) list specific tools and sources in a given library (such as Buley Library) that may help locate books, magazine, journal, and newspaper articles for research in this area. Set aside a specific day and time each week for completing each step. Using the outline below, it should take 13 weeks (or a semester) to complete your Information Resource Guide. An outline of the final guide contains examples of a title and abstract for your guide.

Bibliographies are used to answer a wide variety of questions and to further research by identifying sources on various subjects and/or types. They are lists of works arranged on the basis of authorship, subject, place of publication, or the time (year, month, etc.) of publication. They are usually arranged alphabetically, but sometimes a system of subject classification is used. Some bibliographies are annotated, meaning that each entry includes a brief description of the cited work. Bibliographies can also be complete or selective. Abajian, James T.

Extractions: Frequently Asked Questions About Generations Press Products This is the most frequently asked question on our web site, and the answer to the question is inevitably no. All maps that are currently available from Generations Press are listed on the web site. If you don't see your town or village listed in our catalogs, then we don't sell a map of that location. While we have over 1,000 city and town plans for sale, this still represents only a small portion of the populated places around the world. This is especially true of the 19th century, when most people lived in villages, rather than towns or cities. There are many other map sellers on the web, though, and some have even larger inventories of city maps than Generations Press. Please see our Links page for other map sellers and sources of city maps.

Extractions: Basics on Australian . . . AJCP Codes Histories ... Feedback Atlases, gazetteers and maps are important for family research. They help identify places and show associations with other places. Historical atlases and maps may reveal that places no longer linked by made roads were once linked by a coach route. Other places owed their existence to the establishment of the overland telegraph. The coming of the railway may have led to the decline of once important towns and the expansion of a hamlet nearby e.g. NSW's Berrima and Mittagong. Some places have changed their names - e.g. in NSW, Germanton changed to Holbrook during World War I. Don't be misled by parish names - localities may bear no relation to similarly named parishes. For example, the parish of Castlereagh NSW is not in the district of Castlereagh; Bathurst parish is not in the District of Bathurst; and the Colo River does not flow near the Parish of South Colah, often mis-spelt Colo. Locality names can also move, as indicated by these NSW examples: Pennant Hills Wharf is at Ermington, and Michael Connor's farm at Hunters Hill is actually at Thornleigh.

In "Gazetteers: Identifying Research Localities," Ancestry 12 (4) (July/August 1994), David Thackery notes the following: "Genealogy is, among other things, an exercise in geography. Successful research often hinges on identifying the locality in which one's ancestors lived. Once we know the locality, we are in a position to consult the records and histories for the area in an effort to piece together the lives of our forebears." Pinpointing modern place-names can begin with Frank R. Abate, ed., Omni Gazetteer of the United State of America , 11 vols. (Detroit: Omnigraphics, 1991). The work is subtitled "Providing Name, Location, and Identification for Nearly 1,500,000 Populated Places and Geographic Features in the Fifty States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories."
