[[File:Fig4 Liscouski NotesOnInstDataSys20.jpg|left|180px]] '''For several decades''', [[laboratory informatics]] veteran Joe Liscouski has been sharing his professional experiences and wisdom with clients and the broader public. From discussions on the role of the "laboratory automation engineer" and instrument data systems in the laboratory to webinars about implementing informatics systems, Liscouski has shared his knowledge with others in various ways over the years. We've compiled some of his more important works into [[Book:LIMSjournal - Laboratory Technology Special Edition|a special edition of ''LIMSjournal'']] for wiki readers. The content appears in order of publication, spanning from 2006 all the way to as recently as April 2021.

For this "Fall 2020" edition (previous version was "2.0"), not only are historical data, statistics, URLs, and test kit information updated, as usual. This update also adds the latest on the long-term effects of the disease, organizational and agency guidance, changes to laboratory-developed tests, billing and reporting, point-of-care and at-home testing, biosafety, and much more. Some lengthy sections were also given a few subsection headers for better presentation. May the new content prove useful. Stay safe!

This quick update is to inform you that after some neglect, the education section of the LIMSwiki Resource center has finally received an update. Time was short to check everything in each higher education facility's record, but all education program URLs were verfied and updated extensively. In a few cases, additional or new programs were added when found. This resource was originally developed in 2013, and in 2016 it received an update. It was very much in need of a refresh (particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged many higher education programs), and I finally found a little time to get it done. Happy educational program hunting!
