wiki'd

The Cockburn Libraries' blog  was not listed on the Blogging Libraries Wiki, so I created an account and added it to the list of public library blogs; my first wiki contribution. Wikis seem to be a great way for people to build up of a collection of information about and knowledge of a particular subject. - Hey, according to Wookieepedia , John Lawley played oboe in the London Symphony Orchestra during the recording of the Phantom Menace score. Staying on Wookieepedia, there is a character listed as  Unidentified librarian's daughter, who is the daughter of the character listed as Unidentified librarian, which may actually make her the Unidentified librarian's unidentified daughter.

There are obvious uses in the library environment for a staff wiki, like the Antioch University's Staff Training and Support Wiki listed in Week 5. Having all the procedures, policies easily accessible and, allowing anyone to update & change as required would be a valuable staff tool.

  1. We should have a crack at setting up a wiki some time. I have played with pbwiki a little. Michael is on board.
