Debbie Ginsberg's Legal and Law Library Wiki
This wiki will gather information about library, legal, and law library wikis. It will include links to articles as well as links to relevant wikis. It is based on the presentation given by Deborah Ginsberg and Bonnie Shucha at the American Association of Law Libraries 2005 Annual Conference.
I'm leaving the generic text here until I can figure this out.
