Re: Need Help with "Genealogist" Profile
Hollister:
There was a good article three years ago that identified some of the
characteristics of genealogical societies, and not individuals, but it still
may be helpful:
Litzer, Donald S. "Library and Genealogical Society Cooperation in Developing
Local Genealogical Services and Collections," Reference and User Services
Quarterly, vol. 37, no. 1, Fall 1997, pp. 37-51.
Hope it helps.
