#14 Gettin' Wiki With It

The University of Minnesota Library staff wiki was really nice. I liked the idea of having all the travel information there, links to other campus web sites for employees and tons more information.

I had already come across the Biz Wiki and Lib Success wikis when looking for digitization best practices. Both of these and the UM site above have links to all things digital. Now to find time to work through all that information. The Blogging Libraries wiki was also helpful in finding library blogs.

I have also recently run across wikis used by other universities to compile subject guides for students. This could be a tool for our library, but del.icio.us can provide the same service. Also, any group working on an event or project could benefit from a wiki. An example would be the Web Advisory Group. Links to sites the committee likes could be posted, as well as various versions and test drives of the new site. Discussion and input from group members could also be added. Any group producing documents or discussing issues could also benefit.
