Populating this wikibook

Cleaning up this Wikibook

 * Much of the history chapter was taken from a wikipedia article. It needs better references, and also needs to fit in with the themes of the chapter better.
 * It would be great to have more pictures and sidebars that could serve to spark discussion.
 * All chapters need to be modified to align to the stated learning objectives better
 * It'd also be cool to have sidebars about all the LIS authors mentioned in the text
 * Make the style guide more useful
 * Putting all citations into APA format
