As a result, the areas of African American, General Genealogy Reference, Records of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Native American Research were incorporated into current regional examinations such as: Mid-South African American, Gulf-South Native American, Mountain West LDS, and Midwestern Librarian.
