This webinar will give you a thorough grounding in using the hundreds of free online services at the New York Public Library available with a library card. This concise training will offer beginner searchers a starting point for wider use and cover a few of those sources most relevant to appraisers. Library databases contain articles from magazines, journals and newsletters; book material, biographical data, some auction and other appraisal tools that are not available through a simple internet search. This webinar will give you a grounding on the different resources available and how to access them. Successfully using these sources requires training. The emphasis of this webinar will be on learning the common elements of what to look for on a search page of any of these databases that will make your research time productive and reduce anxiety at using new research tools. 1.5 CE Credits Fees (Live and On-Demand): $40 Members $50 General Admission Register online (at the top of this page) or by calling 212.889.5404 x 11.
