Unlike most of the website, citations are available at the bottom of this page. Very rare on this website.
Lincoln/Net presents
Right away the website dives into the purpose of the project and why it was created. It instructs the user on how to navigate and utilize the information one might find.
Project Team
The project contributors and their positions are clearly laid out, however, there is no apparent way to contact them if necessary.
Technical Support Email: support@alexanderstreet.com Telephone: 1-800-889-5937 When reporting a problem please include your customer name, e-mail address, phone number, domain name or IP address and that of your web proxy server if used.
They fact that they're acknowledging the possibility of technical errors is something I haven't really seen before. It makes me feel like they really care about the website and it's users and want to make our use of it as successful as possible.

You can contact the special editors and project staff via email and it gives a lot of background about the project editors. I like how there are so many different people involved.
Though this seems like a lot of information to sift through but I'm so glad they give so much background on the website and contributors. It really helps explain the website. Because the website is so extensive, this makes it more approachable and offers a lot of help.
