week 5 #12 wikis

http://instructionwiki.org/Sharing_resources

This library instruction wiki had the phrase "stop inventing the wheel". Libraries can add their own "instruction manuals" to these wikis and also check out if a procedure/instruction has already been written on a topic.

This would also be very useful with alot of procedures in place now e.g. Site safety, the site safety staff could have a wiki and add to the procedures in place as new technology arrives e.g. RFID instead of starting all over again.

Staff procedure manuals on a wiki would be good if there is no ndrive to access from some sites.

This website has information on using wikis in libraries and also you can subscribe to a wiki's RSS feed as new information is added or amended.

I have used a wiki when on the Reading advisory team and we contributed our research to the wiki so that the other team members could see what we had found out.
