ORPHAN NEWS
This week was relatively quiet at the State Agency Databases Across the Fifty States project.
The list of orphan states in need of adoption is unchanged from last week:
Mississippi
Rhode Island
Texas
It would be particularly nice to have Texas adopted out as an accurate annotated list of Texas databases would likely be used by people evaluating Governor Rick Perry’s record now that he’s running for President.
If you’re interested in one of the above states, check out our volunteer guide at http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/SADATFS_Volunteer_Guide and then send me an e-mail if you’d like to adopt one of the above states. If you adopt a state, be prepared to put your name and contact information on the main project page AND your state page within two weeks of receiving your wiki login. See the Volunteer guide for more details.
