Wikis:

This site is good information anf tutorial for Wikis in Libraries. And the photos are great too.

-The most interesting thing I read about is how team projects/ committees can share and collaborate with a Wiki and not be dedicated to meetings. Everyone on a team/committee can read, add, modify and change assignments anytime. Even at their own library.
-This could save alot of time traveling to attend meeting and workshops.
-One thing to beware of--deletion of other members work.
-I can see the usefulness of a Wiki for tutorials. As we advance to holds being placed outside the libraries we could have "help courses" for this and online catalog and account access information readily available for patrons. They could also participate. This could link staff, patrons and the community together as they share a project.
Possibly a link from the homepage?
