'General Information'

Please see the about page for more on this cooperative. The other navigation links at left have some more information. This project launched on June 30, 2005, so a good deal of entries on library topics haven't been created yet. Others have just gotten started. There are 1,375 articles so far.

Pioneers are needed to make edits; you can add content or form ontologies wherever you see a need. We also need your help advertising the site to potential users and editors. Spread the word! Contributors: you may wish to create an account to keep track of your edits. Why?

Some article ideas are listed on the community portal page.
