Looking at the video really helped to explain the whole wiki set-up, so that was helpful. We do use a wiki at my library to work on the policy and procedure manual, but it didn't seem that intuitive to me until the video.

You thought with the passing of the deadline there would be no further additions to this wiki? Re-think that.

Who came up with the name Wiki? I think it is a great tool!

A Readers' Advisory Wiki?
I'm thinking about using the wiki format for a readers' advisory spot for students and parents. Has anyone else ever done this?

9/8/08 Better late than never says I. We use wikis both for our staff intranet and for a secure IT intranet. It keeps lots of information in good order and gives everyone a chance to keep it uptodate.

It isn't very cold here today. In fact, now that the sun is back out it is down right nice out. I think wikis can help as libraries continue to increase our collaboration within our communities as well as within the library world. I know that I will try and remember and then convince groups I am working with to consider using a wiki the next time we plan a project together. Getting everyone together for planning meetings is so difficult and maybe if we are all contributing as we have time, we might even end up with a better project, because we would have come to the table with our abilities when we were ready. Just an idea. da 8-08-08
Hello, Icebox. Yes, a wiki and on-line collaborative stuff is handy for those of us in the sticks, considering hours on the road especially with the price of gas. Grew up in the Falls. (DEB 9-7-08)
Hi from Duluth
Just the name is fun to say...wiki! Does this look more organized with the font changed? I suppose they do look]]>
This feels much like writing graffiti on the internet. ' I was here !! ' And someone else can cross it off, or erase it. Or most likely, completely ignore it. Such as it is.
More edits to the wiki in September
We use a wiki for our staff intranet. Only a few people regularly make changes or add pages but more people can make changes because they don't have to know html.
Checking Out Wiki-mania:
Interesting. It figured out I'd finished the title and switched to a smaller font when I went to this line. Anyway, here I am, typing away on someone else's wiki. And now typing in a different color just because I can. :) Yes, this is pretty much like a word processor when you're in here typing. eot 8/15/08

Hi from St. Olaf College. We have a wiki for our staff documents which is working well for me, at least! The 23 Things wiki is not really functioning in a wiki sort of way, but this is just practice for all of us. OK, done! kb

Wikis are a wonderful tool for internal communication. We use them daily.
1st Day Of School
A Wiki will be a nice tool for us to use during our annual fundraiser. It will help us coordinate our efforts so there isn't duplication of duties or miscommunication amongst the board members.

This is my first time working with a WIKI. It seems pretty easy, thanks to the Comon Craft Video. Once I SEE something being done, it is SO MUCH easier than just trying to read all the info to figure it out!
