What kind of resource is this
Thursday July 03rd, 2008From Library Instruction Wiki
The instruction resources available here have been loosely grouped together to make them easier to browse. If you are not sure where the resource you want to add belongs, that's fine. The information on this page should make that easier for you to determine. If you're still not sure don't let that stop you. You can always use your best guess as to where it should go and jump right in! Put your resource where you think people are likely to find it. If someone has a better place for it, they can move it later.
If you're not comfortable jumping in, you can use the Discussion tab on the page you'd like to link your resource to and ask the community what they think. Your fellow instruction librarians will be sure to help you out.
