Frequently Asked Questions

There are only a few of our resources that you have to access from a computer within the library, and those are Ancestry, Foundation Directory, and Generations Online.

When you access one of our online resources from home, we make sure you have a valid library card by asking you to log in. Please see this FAQ if you are having trouble logging in.

From the library homepage, click on Online Library and then Databases to see a large set of databases. Return to the full Online Library to browse all of our online resources by format, age group, topic or alphabetical listing. Most databases and online resources will ask you to log into your library account when you access them away from the library.

Due to privacy policies, it is not possible to highlight course completions or certificates in your personal LinkedIn account for courses taken through the Library's LinkedIn Learning subscription.

If LinkedIn Learning asks you for a Library ID, try entering "jeffcolibrary." If that does not work, go back to our homepage (jeffcolibrary.org), change the Search box to Website and search for LinkedIn. Use the link under Resource. Our specific link can also be found in various places in our Online Library.
