Welcome to Crown Library's Government Resources Wiki. 

 

 

 

 

What's a Wiki? 

 

"Wiki" is an Hawaiian term that translates into English as "quick."  Ward Cunningham, a computer programmer, created a software that enables anyone to create, update and edit content quickly and easily on a wiki website with little or no knowledge of website code. 

 

Our Goal

 

The intent of this wiki is to provide links to government information to the Dominican community as well as the public.  Since wikis are easily updated, new sources for information will be regularly added.
