New Wiki Highlights Children's Authors and Illustrators
The wiki was developed as a cost-effective and innovative solution for publishing and updating The Directory of Indiana Children's Authors and Illustrators, which was last updated by Sara Laughlin in 1997 (3rd ed.). However, many of the wiki entries remain unchanged from that 1997 edition. We are looking for partners to help reach out to authors and illustrators, update content, and create new author entries. The Indiana Children's Authors and Illustrators Wiki was developed through a partnership between the State Library's Children's Services Consultant, Michele Farley, and students from the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) - Indianapolis. In the coming year, the State Library plans to continue developing the wiki with new features and educational resources. The Indiana Children’s Authors & Illustrators Wiki is a continual work in progress. Please feel free to contact Michele Farley if you have any suggestions or comments on how to enhance the look or usability of the wiki, or if you know of a Hoosier children's writer or illustrator not included in the wiki.
