The volunteers at the State Agency Databases Across the Fifty States project at http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/State_Agency_Databases are keeping busy.
A NEW ORPHAN – MAINE
Maine has become our newest orphan. Outgoing volunteer Tim Schneider was kind enough to check the links on this page before he withdrew. He also updated a number of our “subject specific databases” pages as you’ll see below.
We thank Tim for his work and hope someone will step forward and claim Maine.
If working with Maine interests you, check out our Volunteer Guide. If you can meet the basic responsibilities, send me an e-mail at danielcornwall@gmail.com.
