IN the chatroom at the nmc online conference and we were looking for a new word that drops some of the old baggage around plagiarism etc… A fine chatter came up with a great word – linktribute. As the first official linktribute I would like to linktribute the the coiner of the word Alan Levine
More on the conference in a post tonight. cheers all.
