Tour for Experienced Library of Congress researchers unfamiliar with the Digital Library.

(Proto note: This area has not been developed - rough suggestions only)

This tour would highlight the advantages of the online library, and point out disadvantages such as limited help and limited amount of materials.

A demonstration of an enhanced search and exploration could be given as well as links to the reading room info, how to prepare for a real visit at LC, and how to get help from librarians. It might also explain more complex things like: what the relevance ranking does, recommendations for the browsers to use, etc. The tour would have a table of contents, start/stop and a progress indicator.
