Changes at the Family History Library

We are spending the week in Salt Lake City (because it's right on the way to Minnesota and Wisconsin) and enjoying the chance to research. We've been into German microfilm, English vital records, and Indiana books and film during the first few days.

Those of you who have visited the Family History Library will remember the large information desk on each floor where you could take your film or copies to ask questions. This has been changed within the past couple of months. The new area has a single information kiosk. When you ask for help you are given a pager and it will indicate when your expert is available.

The experts themselves are located at various spots around the floor. They have a computer and microfilm reader available at their station to assist patrons. This will avoid any congestion or standing in line at the main desk area.
