== Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards  ==
 
Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
 
*Post queries.
*Send and receive E-mail.
*Search large databases.
*Search computer libraries.
 
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions.
 
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Saskatchewan in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost.
 
Addresses on the Internet change frequently. As of September 1997, the following sites are important gateways linking you to many more network and bulletin board sites:<br>
