Wikis

I came across a few interesting Wikis that other libraries have used as a collaborative area.

The technical services department at the University of Limerick in Ireland, has a wiki that is used like our S: Drive, to store procedure manuals, cheat sheets. Any staff member is able to add pages so that procedural updates can be current, and not one persons, responsibility.

A Wiki may be a good idea for Bib Services to use as a way for people to record ideas for what procedures need updating, what we would like on the agenda at team meetings etc.


While searching for Wikis I stumbled across this great blog on the future of cataloguing departments/ library resources http://www.catalogingfutures.com/catalogingfutures/
Looks interesting if I ever find the time to work through it.
