Professional setup
Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.
Use library research guides, database terms, archive rules, privacy policies, patron goals, and source notes as the source of truth.
Use the timer for research pacing only, not for identity, records, privacy, legal, archive access, or library policy decisions.
Keep source notes, research logs, database notes, patron goals, privacy notes, and next-source lists in the approved library, school, nonprofit, civic, or program system.
Use an XTimer room when genealogy librarians, patrons, researchers, volunteers, family members, and remote helpers need one shared genealogy help session countdown.
