IU Libraries Switches to Ancestry Library Edition Oct. 1
09/24/2010
The IUB Libraries are switching their subscription from Heritage
Quest to Ancestry Library Edition beginning Oct. 1. Heritage Quest
will continue to be available through Oct. 31, but will no longer
be accessible at IUB after that date. The reasons for the switch
include the comprehensiveness of the manuscript U.S. Census records
in Ancestry Library Edition, additional U.S. military and social
security files, and the inclusion of international resources.
Additionally, Ancestry Library Edition includes limited access to
the newspaper,
Stars and Stripes, a popular source for
information related to U.S. military actions overseas. This
resource will be very useful in various local history research
projects as well as studies of local communities. For more
information, contact reference staff in East Tower 2 Wells library
