I use many of them for genealogy and database classes I teach to library staff and patrons.
Ancestry
Designed for use in a database class I teach, this guide sheet focuses on the basic functions of Ancestry as well as the built-in tools and research guides.

As the only in-house-run database for CHPL, the Digital Library holds all scanned material for the whole system. This database is designed to aid in searching and navigating the library as well as highlight some more popular collections.
CHPL Newspaper Databases
Designed to be taught alongside genealogy classes for patrons, this guide sheet focuses on common uses for three common newspaper databases provided by CHPL.
Family Search
Designed for at-home and consistent use of this genealogy database, this guide sheet aims to teach patrons general use as well as advanced features.
Harnessing Google
Made to turn Google into a powerful research tool, this guide sheet teaches users the built-in reference tools provided through a simple search engine.
Heritage Quest
Built for a genealogy class as an introduction to accessing and using a genealogy database, allowing library users to conduct research at home.
ProQuest: African American Heritage
Designed to aid in genealogy research, this guide sheet has become especially useful in its ability to assist in the often difficult task of African American family research.
