Who wikis Who in British Librarianship

It’s great to discover this experimental wikified version of W. A. Munford’s Who was Who in British Librarianship 1800-1985 (1987). As a statistician who has strayed into serving libraries, I don’t know many of the famous names and a lot of the online materials are from the US. This looks like a useful guide (and CC-BY-SA-3.0 which is OK, although the current site has an unfriendly Choice of Law and Forum) and I hope that any UK-based Librarians who read my site will take a look and see if they can help it.

    Sounds interesting, but your link is missing an href… ;-)

    How the heck did that happen? At least it was still valid html ;-)

    I’ve put the href back in it. Thanks for the note.

    Was there supposed to be a link in there?

  4. MJ Ray says:

    Paul – there should have been a link by the time you looked! Maybe lug.org.uk or whatever feed reader hadn’t updated yet?

    There was, I loaded the page along with a batch of others, so it was old by the time I read it. I then started trying to find the link and look at the code (as you do!) before hitting submit on my comment. As soon as the page reloaded I spotted the other comments and the updated link (which weren’t there when I loaded the page). I thought about posting another comment, but the phone went and I never got back to it!

    Library stuff tends to catch my eye as my father-in-law worked for Hampshire County libraries for many years.
