Week 5 - Wikis

I had a tour through the recommended wikis & have come to the conclusion that they could have the following uses:
- quick version of a library homepage or perhaps library faculty homepage (e.g. SJCPL - however I found their discussion page strange)
- communication about good/useful books/resources for subject/unit areas (BookLovers Wiki)
- internal staff communication
e.g. library wide diary of staff movements (rosters, who's on leave etc)
e.g. library wide diary of meetings (easy to lose track when venues/times keep changing)
-FAQs for reference desk, loans desk- procedures manual
- staff discussions/collaboration/organizing (Library2.0 on the loose: unconference) this may cut down on the circuitous emails!

Blackboard wiki
Although I didn't try to edit the wiki, the process looks simple.
