#16 Wikis & libraries

I believe that technical services tried to have a wiki for the Unicorn upgrade last year. I checked the site a few times, and it never really was used. In my own department this idea also failed when trying to set up a wiki about the conser standard record. I think both of these applications were perfect, but we lacked a core of users to get this running.

In both cases the idea was to prevent numerous inquires about the same issue. The wiki would have provided a resource for self discovery before seeking assistance. Sharing questions and responses reduces duplication of effort, which should be a goal.

By the way...

Bloomingpedia was helpful when I moved to Bloomington last year.
