Recommending a Site
Registered users can recommend a site by going here...
Recommending sites is the meat and potatoes of LibSite.org. You recommend one by creating a Web Citation ("WebCite"). To do so, you need the following information:
- Title -- name of site
- Author(s) - name of individual(s) or institution providing site
- Free Tags - tags like 'Blog' or 'Wiki'. Use what's there or create your own. For more info, see Free Tagging.
- URL - URL of site
- Description - Description of site
What to Post?
Anything that's "library-related" is fair game. It can be a blog whether personal or institutional, a library website -- either new or redesigned. It can be a digital collection, a research site or one devoted to instruction. It can be in a school, public setting or even in private industry.
Reasons for Turning Down a Site
All submissions are moderated and on extremely rare occasions a site is not approved.
Probably the most likely reason is because it's a duplicate of something that's already been posted. (Redesigns or other substantial improvements are naturally okay.)
Another reason is because it's not related to librarianship. A final reason is because we're not comfortable with the subject matter or because we feel it's inappropriate for this site.
Needless to say, the vast majority of submissions are not only welcomed but approved!
