Fri, 16 May 2008 03:33:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 http://blisspix.net/2006/04/10/announcing-lisauthor-wiki/#comment-10531 Sat, 15 Apr 2006 15:11:22 +0000 http://blisspix.net/2006/04/10/announcing-lisauthor-wiki/#comment-10531 [...] Another great wiki that just came out is the LISauthor wiki. This wiki was developed by Fiona Bradley with the goal of collecting information about eScholarship, writing, publishing, research, speaking, etc. And while it really needs a logo, I think it could be a terrific resource for those of us interested in contributing to the profession in various ways. Fiona writes: What has been most clear to me recently is that librarians want to write – they want to tell their stories and lessons learnt. They don’t have to be on a tenure track or in any particular kind of library, or even any library to have the motivation to do so. On the other side, librarians also want to help others to write, and be publishers in their own right whether by running a conference and publishing the papers, or starting a newsletter or journal, or promoting deposit in repositories. Lastly, practitioners want to stay in touch with the most relevant research – and these days that could include tools like OPML Reading Lists, database alerts, Journal TOC feeds as well as more traditional browsing and serendipitous methods. With LISauthor I aim to look at all of these issues and think of ways to bridge the divides that sometimes form. [...] […] Another great wiki that just came out is the LISauthor wiki.
