Marianne Kruppa:
They decided to create a subject guide because of KCPL’s subject guides
Decided to use a wiki to do it
SJCPL’s subject guides have articles created by librarians
how did we do it:
- sandbox server so staff can play with new tools
- tested a couple of wiki products
- picked mediawiki because of the familiar interface
- technophobes knew what to expect
- easy install included
- find your cheerleaders
- don’t call it a wiki (for the technophobes out there)
- jump in and see what happens
They made wikis part of new staff training – coolness.
