Mona on Wikis

August 2, 2008 This was golden to me:

I cringe when I open my inbox and it's littered with emails that would be so much more effective in a wiki. I work in a school library, and I love to share ideas with fellow library staff at other schools... but please, STOP sending me emails about the "great new site" you found! Have you received this email? J. Librarian sends an email out to everyone talking about this new (to her) found site. Then someone sends a reply to the entire group to say they also enjoy the site. By the time the rounds are done... my inbox runneth over... and I've wasted precious time going through them all! PLEASE post your wonderful sites for us all to see on the wiki, so we can benefit from the sharing all together, without tiring out my poor old inbox.

We've just started using wikis for policy development and meeting agendas/minutes. It is great for policy development because you can use the comments to discuss what changes are being made without endless versioning so that nobody is ever quite sure if they have the right version. It is particularly effective in our library situation where some of us work days and some work nights, which makes collaboration more difficult. We really want to work collaboratively on policy development so we are finding that wikis are a great tool to facilitate that.

Have gotten behind - summer distractions. Plan to spend the day catching up and wikis are going to be my focus this year so I'm excited about this segment. Oh, I can't wait to delve into flickr also.
