Our Favorite Library has a New Website, Please be Patient While Links are Repaired

MCPL's new website as of January 24, 2020.

Our favorite library, Mount Clemens Public Library, has a new website today.

Its format has flexibility to accommodate a variety of devices like computers/laptops, tablets and smart phones. We are advised to please be patient while repairs are made to the many broken links that appeared after going live.

The new look of the Digital Archive.

At present, the library's catalog itself is the same with the same look and feel as before. The Library Events Calendar is the same too. But recently you may have noticed that the Suburban Library Cooperative's Digital Archive was updated to a new platform. At present there are five main collections (Local History and Genealogy are two of them) and each has many sub-collections to explore and search.

MCPL's new website as of January 24, 2020.

As soon as the genealogy and local history links on the website are repaired we will let you know.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!

What is Behind those Changes of Terms of Use and Privacy at some Websites?

Wondering about those changes in Terms of Use/Privacy that are appearing on some genealogy websites like Ancestry.com, 23andMe.com and MyHeritage.com?

The Legal Genealogists provides a summary of what is happening and why? Which does NOT replace reading the terms of service yourself, of course.

So use her blog post as a guide of what to look for in those revised terms.
