Dedication

I would like to dedicate all the work and systems that I built for Stellenbosch University to my two daughters;

• Amber Mary Gibson
• Heather Clare Gibson

If it were not for the sacrifice of not having a father close by in Australia when they needed one, they deserve the recognition for all of the following major systems that were built;

• SUNScholar
• SUNConferences
• SUNJournals
• Libopedia

History

• This wiki was suggested by Ralph Pina who was asked by Temple Hauptfleisch to provide a place on the web for ESAT which was then moved to it's own wiki. It has now turned into a help companion guide for SUNScholar (http://scholar.sun.ac.za) and a help guide for students working on computers in the library.

• Inspired by this web comic: http://xkcd.com/773 and this blog: http://faillab.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/the-ugly-truth-about-library-websites
