* In 2018, our department's website was "branded" the Wayne County, Ohio Online Resource Center. Staff felt it was a better descriptor of the project and sounded more reliable than the Wiki. It had been reported that teachers discourage the use of Wiki because they do not believe the information is reliable. We do want to encourage students to use the Wayne County, Ohio Online Resource Center.
