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?

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.
