Thing #15 and #16 - Wikis

LOVE WIKIS.....LOVE'EM! My job has become 10 times simpler since creating the library staff wiki. I no longer have to send out emails, post memos, or chase library staff members around to ensure everyone on staff knows about policy/procedure changes, meetings, or programs. I think it is a wonderful way for library employees to communicate with each other. The wiki also serves as a central location for circ staff to store our gazillion number of forms.

One way to use wikis is when planning an event. My friend created a wiki when planning a bachelorette party in Las Vegas. It was great way to not only brainstorm, but also gather everyone's RSVPs, contact information, and travel itineraries.
