==Project Scope==
 
As established in 2007, this project seeks to locate and annotate publicly searchable databases produced by agencies of the 50 state governments plus the District of Columbia.
 
 
Interest has been expressed in creating database listings for local governments of the 50 states, commonwealths and other outlying territories of the United States. We're open to this. It would be up to an individual to step forward and create such pages. In the case of creating pages for local governments of one of the fifty states, the documents specialist for that page would need to be consulted.
 
 
==Basic Responsibilities==
 
By adopting a project page, you are agreeing to do the following:
 
 
# Check the page for broken links using http://validator.w3.org/checklink or some other method and looking for replacement URLs when needed. This should be done quarterly (Open to other frequencies)
 
# Look for new databases produced by your state. There are a number of approaches to [[locating state databases]]. The databases you find ought to meet the criteria listed on the [[What is a Database]] page. When in doubt, ask [http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/User:Dcornwall Daniel Cornwall], project coordinator.
 
# Annotate your databases with one or two sentences that indicate what fields can be searched in a given database and what sort of information the database records have. Indicate any special technology needs (i.e. IE only, etc)
 
# Accept e-mail from people not comfortable with editing wikis who have additions, edits or deletions.
 
 
==Volunteer Forum==
 
A survey is in progress to determine the best place to have a a volunteers-only forum for project announcements, information sharing and brainstorming new ways to use and publicize this project.
 
 
When this forum has been selected, this section will be updated with more specific information.
 
 
==Resources==
 
 
You might find the following resources helpful in your volunteer work here:
 
 
*[http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/Help:Editing Wiki Editing Help] - A guide to the mechanics of writing wiki pages. If you have specific questions, contact the project coordinator or post a question to the volunteer forum (when available).
 
 
*[[Not Databases]] and/or not government, but still useful
 
 
Thank you for contributing to this effort. What else should be here?
