Not so tricky Wikis

Does anyone else feel totally blown away with the amount of information there is to explore? It is almost overwhelming really!

Wikis are web pages that are made by a group of people who can all contribute to its content (some wikis can be contributed to by anyone, others only by a certain group of approved people) thereby achieving a website that has information that has been provided by all of the contributors.

You need to install wiki software or use a service that hosts the wiki for you, such as WetPaint.

I thought the Antioch University's staff training and support wiki was a fantastic idea. What a great way to keep all staff informed of changes in procedures and processes within the library.

I have left my comments on the wiki site and found it was quite straight forward procedure.

  3. I was impressed with Antioch University's staff training and support wiki. I thought is was a fantastic idea. The staff would have no excuse for ignorance of updated/changed procedures.
