"Access" MGC's Periodicals Collection

March 10, 2013

The Midwest Genealogy Center’s Periodicals team has been busy creating new ways to access our periodicals collection. The Periodicals team recently completed a Microsoft Access database that helps MGC staff more easily locate any of the 2,600 periodicals within our collection for customers. Each staff member participated in hands-on training sessions that allowed them to get a feel for searching and navigating through the database.

Since making the database available, we have had enthusiastic and positive feedback. “This is so helpful!" and "There is so much information -- this is great!" were common comments. So please stop by MGC with any periodical requests or questions, and we can help you "ACCESS" our periodicals collection.
