There are 3 different group purchases for which Bobbi Slossar is currently collecting information from libraries who are interested in participating. Each has its own survey that needs to be completed ASAP if you want your library to be included.
AncestryLibrary Edition Survey
The survey will determine whether NHSL will pursue a group purchase of Ancestry Library Edition on behalf of
interested libraries. Your participation on the survey matters greatly –
particularly if you are a current subscriber.
- For comparison
purposes, partial-year statistics from 2024 have been included.
Statewide we have seen a significant decrease in usage: ALE
Statistics (Jan-Aug 2024)
- Since Proquest stats do
not always fall under the NHSL “umbrella,” if you do not see your
statistics here – or feel that they are incorrect – please run the
statistics though your own IP address. Here are the instructions and link
from the LibGuide.
- As always, if your IP
address has changed, please visit https://whatismyip.com
to find your new IPv4 and send it to Bobbi who will submit a support ticket
with Proquest on your behalf.
Please review your statistics and take a moment to indicate
your interest in joining the group purchase by completing the survey.

purchase.
How
much will it cost? These are the costs for our current 2025
