Ancestry Plus Added To NHewLINK Features
The State Library is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement to provide your library with access to AncestryPlus from the Gale Group as part of the NHewLINK project. Now you and your patrons will have available, at the touch of a mouse, an outstanding collection of genealogical and historical documents. This genealogy research product provides instant access to more than 1 billion names, more than 3,000 databases, primary-source document images, and a variety of genealogical research features. It also includes immigration, vital, military, court, church and ethnic records, city directories, genealogical societies, Social Security Death Index, Periodical Source Index, family history library, and much more. AncestryPlus is not intended for remote access from home. For more information, including access instructions, please contact the Electronic and Government Information Resources Section at the State Library, 1-800-499-1232 x5 or 603-271-2143/2425.
Calendar Of Training And Events Has A New Look!
The State Library's training and events calendar (www.state.nh.us/nhsl/calendar/calendar.htm) may be easily accessed as a direct link off of the State Library homepage. You will find a new full month display format, which should be helpful in planning your time at various programs and events. The more traditional listing format by month is also available by clicking on the "view scrolling format" icon in the upper right hand corner. (The icon is supposed to look like a picture of a scroll - the rectangle with lines across it for the icon-challenged, like me! - Tom Ladd, Education Coordinator). Watch for frequent updates as more Fall programs become available.
Census Collection - New Resources At State Library
Within the last year, four acquisitions have filled longstanding needs in the State Library's census collection: [1 & 2] hardcover indexes to both the 1870 and the 1900 New Hampshire census records, [3] the 1930 census of New Hampshire, and [4] a remarkable 1880 census, not only of New Hampshire, but of the entire United States.
During past years, many family historians discovered, to their dismay, in searching census records for information about Granite State ancestors, that there was no index to the 1870 census of New Hampshire. Heritage Quest of Bountiful, Utah, has filled that void very nicely. Not only does Heritage Quest's 1870 index, which the library acquired last summer, include the names of household heads, but it also lists the name of any individual in a household if that person's surname differs from the last name of the household head. In addition to pinpointing the census roll and the page on which a resident's entry is found, the index lists each individual's gender, color, and state or country of birth.
Early last month, the State Library acquired the same publisher's two volume index to the 1900 census of New Hampshire. This addition to the State Library census collection remedies a serious weakness involved in using the 1900 soundex, which has been the finding aid for that census for many years. The key to using the soundex system is a four character code on a microfilmed file card. Family historians looking for ancestors in the 1900 census were frequently frustrated because that four character code was obscured to the point of being useless. Like the 1870 index, the 1900 index volumes provide the census roll and the page on which an entry is found, plus each person's gender, color, and state or country of birth.
The 1930 Federal Census was not made available to the public until April 1 of this year. The foresight of Zelda Moore, State Library Genealogy Department Chairperson, made it possible for the State Library to receive its microfilmed collection of the 1930 census during the first week it became available. Anyone living in New Hampshire on April 1, 1930, regardless of his or her age on that date, appears on one of the microfilmed 1930 census reels at the State Library.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has created a CD-Rom set of the 1880 census for the entire United States. At the very reasonable price of $49.95, including shipping costs, this resource for genealogical research is one that almost any library equipped with a computer operating on Windows95 or higher can readily afford. Further information can be obtained from Distribution Services, 1999 West, 1700 South, Salt Lake City, Utah, 18104-4223.
You can call the State Library's Genealogy Department staff at 271-6823 or e-mail Zelda Moore, zmoore@library.state.nh.us, or Ed Holden, eholden@library.state.nh.us, to receive copies of pages from census indexes or from census records themselves.

Construction Projects - Library Journal Needs Information
Library Journal has asked Sue Palmatier, Supervisor of Library Development Services at the State Library, to collect information from libraries that completed construction projects between July 1, 2001, and June 30, 2002, for inclusion in the December 2002 "Architectural Issue". This includes new buildings, additions to existing buildings, and renovation/remodeling. There are fourteen categories: population; total cost of the project; construction cost (including floor coverings); gross square feet; cost per square foot; cost of furniture and equipment (including automated systems); site cost (including the value of a gift site); other costs (including architects' and consultants' fees and landscaping); shelving capacity in number of volumes (for all materials and formats); reader seats (omitting meeting room seats); federal funds (including LSTA money, although the form still says LSCA); state government funds (including LCHIP money); local government and library funds; and gift funds (again, including the value of a gift site). All categories are explained in full on the form. You're also encouraged to submit color chrome, color slides, or color prints of your projects; electronic image files are *not* acceptable this year. Detailed information is on the questionnaire. Sue will send you the forms; you'll fill them out and send them on to LJ. The deadline for submitting the forms to LJ is MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. Please call or e-mail Sue to request one or more of the survey forms. Thanks for your attention; she hopes to hear from several of you soon. She'd also appreciate your sending her a copy of the questionnaire(s) you send to Library Journal so she can have a file on hand for others planning construction projects. Please let Sue know if you have any questions, 1-800-462-1726, 603-788-0914, or spalmatier@library.state.nh.us.
EBSCO Databases - Remote Patron Access
Does your library use a patron barcode for your library cards? If so, you have another option you can use to provide remote patron access to the EBSCO databases. Your patrons can enter their patron barcode number to access the databases. A link from your web site to a specific URL is all it takes. The prompt asks the users to enter their "patron id". No need for you to have to publicize username/password information-just have them use the same identification they use to borrow other materials from your library. If you would like Electronic and Government Information Resources to set up remote bar code access for your patrons, please contact them at 1-800-499-1232 x5 or 603-271-2143/2425.

Grant Alert - National Library Week
GRANT ALERT - NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK
Libraries of all types are invited to apply for a $4,000 National Library Week grant for the best library promotion/public awareness campaign during National Library Week (April 6-12, 2003) that promotes the role librarians play in the 21st century. The grant is sponsored by Scholastic Library Publishing and administered by the Public Awareness Committee of the American Library Association (ALA). The application deadline is October 15, 2002.
This is the first year that the Grolier Grant specifically will focus on the work of librarians. In doing so, the grant supports The Campaign for America's Libraries' goal of promoting librarianship as a profession and also ties into ALA President Mitch Freedman's year-long initiative, The Campaign for America's Librarians, which focuses on better salaries and pay equity.
The Campaign for America's Libraries is a five-year public awareness effort sponsored by ALA to speak loudly and clearly about the value of libraries and librarians in the 21st century. The campaign was officially launched to the public during National Library Week 2001 at a kickoff event in Washington, DC, featuring First Lady Laura Bush.
Proposals must incorporate the @ your library brand. Libraries are encouraged to be as imaginative and inventive as possible in developing a local campaign or program for National Library Week that reflects the work that librarians do on behalf of their users. For example, libraries might wish to celebrate the role of librarians in the Information Age with "The Ultimate Search Engine @ your library*" or with "Information Experts @ your library*." Libraries might also wish to recognize those librarians who are active on campus or in their schools or community with "Heroes @ your library." The brand, which is open-ended and provides lots of room for creativity, should be used on any and all promotional and publicity material to support National Library Week.
An application form and guidelines are available at www.ala.org/pio/nlw/grolierapp.doc. They are also available from the ALA Public Information Office. Telephone: 800-545-2433, ext. 4020. E-mail: mhumphrey@ala.org.
The winner will be notified at the end of December and announced at the 2003 ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia. Information on last year's winner, the Omaha Public Library, and the winning application can be viewed at www.ala.org/@yourlibrary/pressreleases.cfm#omaha.
For more information about The Campaign for America's Libraries, visit the campaign's website at www.ala.org/@yourlibrary.
Grant Awards - New Hampshire Libraries Receive Restoration Funds
The Griffin Free Public Library in Auburn was recently awarded $1,000.00 for the restoration of their antique display cabinets for their submission to a competition offered by David and Ann Thomas Wilkins of Silver Lake, New Hampshire. In addition, the Moultonborough Public Library was awarded $100.00 toward the restoration of their façade.
The Thomas Wilkins are in the process of writing a book, Rural Enlightenment: The Architecture of New Hampshire's Public Libraries, and sent out questionnaires as part of their preparatory research. Many libraries responded to the questionnaire and five submitted proposals for the contest, which was to fund the restoration of an architectural feature of the building. The authors also wish to commemorate Ann's parents (George and Naomi "Billye" Thomas) and their interest in New Hampshire architecture.

Large Print Books Available For Loan
Large print books are available for loan to libraries from the Library Services to Persons with Disabilities Section of the State Library. They have over 5500 titles in their collection, which includes mysteries, romances, bestsellers, westerns, biographies, and much more.

NHAIS-L Is Back
After a hiatus due to computer viruses, NHAIS-L is back. The list has been sorely missed by the library community and the State Library is thrilled to be able to make it available once again. This list is used as the official list for information about the NHAIS system. It is also a forum for information of general interest to the library community. The State Library uses NHAIS-L as one of the ways it disseminates information to all libraries in New Hampshire. It is recommended that all libraries have at least one staff member subscribed to this list. Subscription information can be found at: www.state.nh.us/mailman/listinfo/nhais-l. To post: NHAIS-L@webster.state.nh.us. Due to the problems this spring, the list is set up so that only subscribers may post to the list. You must send a message from the email account that is subscribed to NHAIS-L or it will not be automatically posted. Please send ILL and multiple copy requests to NHAIS-ILL.
NHAIS Registration Temporarily Closed
NHAIS registration officially closed on May 15. It will reopen after the new NHU-PAC is implemented, probably on January 1, 2003. There are exactly 375 libraries registered with NHAIS; 210 are public libraries, 94 are schools (mostly high schools), 28 are academics, 32 are special libraries (including law and health sciences), and 11 are government agency collections (including only 3 that are not part of the State Library). Of the 375 registered libraries, 310 are participants in interlibrary loan through NHAIS. The New Hampshire Library Directory on the State Library website (http://pierce.state.nh.us/libdir/) will be updated so that an HSA code appears only on entries for registered NHAIS libraries.
NHewLINK Offerings Expanded
The State Library is pleased to announce that NHewLINK has been expanded to offer more databases to more New Hampshire libraries. Contracts have been signed with various vendors to provide access to a variety of resources. There are materials for all age groups and interests. In addition to in-library use, most of the databases are also available for patrons and students to use at home. Better yet, NHewLINK access is free to eligible libraries! Currently available databases are: 1) Through EBSCO Publishing, 12 databases covering general interest, business, and health resources. There are also databases for children and young adults, as well as two teacher databases. The NoveList readers'advisory database is also included. A cooperative agreement between the State Library, the NH Community Technical Colleges, and the NH College and University Council provides even more databases; libraries that receive access through any of the three individual contracts now have access to the same base products. 2) H.W. Wilson's Library Literature and Information Science Full-Text is available to NHAIS library staff. 3) Public libraries and public K-12 schools have full-text electronic access to the edition of record (1989-current) of NewsBank, which provides cover-to-cover access to The Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News. 4) Public libraries and public high schools have access to OCLCs WorldCat database. WorldCat contains over 49 million bibliographic records cataloged by OCLC member libraries, including books, visual materials, computer files, Internet resources, serials, sound recordings, archival materials, maps, and musical scores representing over 400 languages. For more information, please contact the State Library's Electronic and Government Information Resources Section at 1-800-499-1232 x5 or 603-271-2143/2425.
NHLA Night At Shorty's!

Shorty's will donate 15% of the food bill to NHLA for anyone who eats at a Shorty's between 5:00 and 9:00 pm and tells their server that they are there in support of NHLA. Anyone can participate, librarians, Trustees, Friends, or members of the public. This is a great opportunity to talk to people about supporting libraries, to get the staff together for a fun night out, to have a social evening with Coop members and spouses, or for your Friends group to mobilize its forces. Look for posters and more details (coming soon) to help publicize this event. Encourage everyone to get out, get together, and get to Shorty's for NHLA. Shorty's restaurants are located in Bedford, Manchester, Nashua, Newington, and West Lebanon.

NHU-PAC - Changes In Holdings Maintenance
As of August 9, NHAIS libraries are no longer be able to use the Holdings Maintenance feature of the ILL module to add, delete, or modify their holdings on the NHU-PAC. This is the first of several major changes anticipated for the months to come as Network Services prepares to move the data in the NHU-PAC to a new Web-based system. Network Services will continue to add new records and holdings to the NHU-PAC, and you may send your requests for adds to Network Services in the form of paper request slips or files of Galaxy records via van, Postal Service, or e-mail; as always, they will be processed in the order received. If you've never done this before, please call the NHAIS Help Desk at 271-2141, as there are certain requirements for the slips and records. Network Services will NOT be able to process holdings deletions or modifications, so please hold onto this information for now so you'll be able to adjust your NHU-PAC holdings when the new system is in place.
NHU-PAC - Information Sheet
A mailing has gone out to all registered NHAIS libraries regarding the setup for the new NHU-PAC. Please review the information on the sheet about your library and IF there are corrections to be made, please indicate them and return the sheet. The second page in the mailing mainly asks for information about non-NHU-PAC records your library may use. If this applies to you, please complete the form and return it to Network Services so they may plan for loading into the new NHU-PAC the types of MARC records that New Hampshire libraries are using. Please contact Network Services at 1-800-499-1232 x3 or 603-271-2141 if you have any questions.
Preservation Assistance Grant Awarded To State Library
The National Endowment for the Humanities has awarded a $5,000.00 Preservation Assistance Grant to the New Hampshire State Library. The funds will be used to engage a consultant from the Northeast Document Conservation Center (NEDCC) to survey both the building and the collection it houses, with a portion of the funding used to provide preservation training.
According to Michael York, State Librarian, "This grant represents an important first step in establishing a preservation plan to deal with items we have identified as historically and culturally significant. I appreciate the hard work of grant writers Janet Eklund and David Sturges, and preservation committee members Donna Gilbreth, John McCormick, Katie McDonough, Zelda Moore, Eleanor O'Donnell, Mary Russell and Sarah Wiegard."
Approximately 14% of the library's paper-based holdings were printed before 1900. Older holdings include 7,800 titles printed before 1850, 48 published before 1700 and 2 pre-1500 books. The State Library is the oldest of its kind in the nation, with a construction date of 1895. NEDCC will assess the collection and offer information in terms of preservation prioritization and techniques.
Another facet of the grant is a provision to train staff in preservation assessment and techniques, thereby allowing for future self-reliance. In addition to onsite workshops for library staff, NEDCC will provide training for preservation committee members regarding preservation fundamentals and technology, collections maintenance, emergency preparedness, and program administration.
The National Endowment for the Humanities is an independent federal agency created in 1965. The Endowment's mission is to enrich American cultural life by promoting knowledge of human history, thought and culture throughout the nation. The Endowment accomplishes that mission by providing grants for high-quality humanities projects in four funding areas: preserving and providing access to cultural resources, education, research and public programs.
Public Referenda - Library Journal Needs Information
Library Journal wants to know if any public library held a public referendum for the purpose of financing capital improvements *or* for the purpose of raising operating funds.
