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:
 
==== Locate other researchers  ====
 
*Post queries
*Send and receive e-mail
*Search large databases
*Search computer libraries
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions
