A model to consider
One model to consider in the evolution of the WikiBooks project is the NCBI bookshelf. This is a series of textbooks and biology authoritative references that have been made accessible to the public through the auspices of the United States National Library of Medicine. A key point of the access is the cross-referencing between biomedical research abstracts and the topics in the books, which provides a model where the books serve as a knowledge framework and summary to assist in the organization and exploration of the growing body of biomedical literature. It is conceivable that a similar relationship could be fostered between WikiBooks and Wikipedia. Courtland 18:15, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
