Here’s a roundup of the last two week’s activity at the State Agency Databases Project at http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/State_Agency_Databases:
NEW VOLUNTEER
Audrey Hall, longtime volunteer for the Ohio page recently retired. Happily she recruited Kirstin Krumsee to take her place! Please join me in thanking Audrey for a job well done and thanking Kristin for joining our project.
CHIPPING AWAY AT ORPHANS
We have a volunteer in the works for Rhode Island that I hope to announce in the next report. If that pans out we’ll be down to three orphan states:
If you have an interest in taking one of these states, review the Volunteer Guide and then contact Daniel Cornwall at danielcornwall at gmail dot com.
FEATURED DATABASE
Today’s featured database is from Brenda Hemmelman, who maintains the South Dakota page:
South Dakota State Parks Directory (http://gfp.sd.gov/state-parks/
directory/) Home to breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and exciting geological wonders, South Dakota offers visitors a range of things to do and see! Enjoy the beauty of the Black Hills, great fishing and hunting along the Missouri River, and gazing at a star filled sky around a campfire. Make reservations online.
