Service activities in support of Wikibooks

Wikibooks logo

It is natural for some Wikiversity participants look to Wikibooks for online textbooks. It is natural for some Wikiversity projects to contribute to the development and improvement of textbooks. This does not mean that the Wikibooks and Wikiversity projects are in competition or in a state of conflict. It simply means that some Wikiversity Learning Projects will lead to improvements in textbooks at Wikibooks and some Wikiversity participants will make use of textbooks at Wikibooks to facilitate the attainment of their educational goals. This synergy is a win-win situation for Wikiversity and Wikibooks. There should be links from Wikiversity to every textbook at Wikibooks and a standing invitation for Wikiversity participants to both use and help improve those textbooks.
