To learn more about the history and record-keeping systems of Arkansas counties, use the 17 inventories of the county archives published by the Historical Records Survey around 1940. Copies of 16 inventories are available at the Family History Library.
Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards
Computers with modems are important 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 online 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
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Arkansas 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 April 2007, the following sites are important gateways linking you to many more network and bulletin board sites:
The USGenWeb Project
A cooperative effort by many volunteers to list genealogical databases, libraries, bulletin boards, and other resources available on the Internet for each county, state, and country.
A useful list of sites and resources. Includes a large, regularly-updated research coordination list.
For further details about using computer networks, bulletin boards, and news groups for family history research, see the United States Research Outline, 2nd ed., "Archives and Libraries" section.

Mind Mapping for Dummies (edition 2012)
by Florian Rustler (Author), Tony Buzan (Foreword)
Work details
Mind Mapping For Dummies by Florian Rustler
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a good introduction to mind mapping. Rustler explains both hand-drawn and computer-generated mind maps, emphasizing the use of colors and the advantages of restricting yourself to single word concepts. I found the chapters on computer software for mind mapping useful; however, Rustler definitely had favorite software and having to "tune out" his preferences made it hard to judge the various software descriptions neutrally. Rustler talks about using mind maps in all sorts of situations: education, creativity, project management, taking notes from lectures or on books. I liked the broad range of applications, and hope to use a mind map for the next nonfiction book I read. But even though the book is ostensibly intended for a general audience, there's a definite "corporate" tone to it, which may or may not be an issue for you (I found it a bit irritating by the end of the book).
