NBS WEB SITE BIBLIOGRAPHY IMPROVEMENTS

Tom Wetter has patiently been toiling away expanding and organizing the bibliography section of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society web site. Thanks! Here's his latest progress report on the effort, which began with publishing the NBS's survey of The One Hundred Greatest items of United States Numismatic Literature. -Editor

NBS Bibliography US

When the Top 100 was originally put up on the Wiki, I wanted to get the information out there first, and then fiddle around in the background doing the real work of making it actually useful. A Wiki is not designed to be hierarchical and lists of items do not work well.

Every page in the U. S. portion of the site has now been rewritten and categorized, and the category listings are on the bottom of every page. Now, one page can belong to U. S. Quarters, Silver Coinage and also have an entry in the NBS Top 100 categories. No longer are three separate index lists being maintained as the category pages are dynamic. This will greatly aid in the usability of the site as we continue to add information as things will be easier to locate and the site in general becomes more useful.

The location of the category page is not ideal and I am still trying to determine where to locate it, but in the interim, here is the direct link: wiki.coinbooks.org/index.php/Category:United_States

This is looking great! Check it out - browse through the site. Tom's done a great job, and this is only the beginning. Can you help with new information or images? Several NBS members and E-Sylum readers have contributed, but anyone may have something to offer. This is becoming a great resource for the hobby. -Editor
