As for your question, the uses we came up with at the Unconference for libraries were: local history, reading/book clubs, intranet, website, staff manual, inter service point communication, strategy planning, project management, subject guides and research/reference (eg. how to use databases etc.) Hope this helps and good look with your changes! Matt,

I've been thinking about how a multi-campus public library could deploy a wiki during a restructure (downsize). These stressful processes seem to happen every few years (maybe it's particularly a Canberra thing!). A 'change management' wiki would not be simple if staff are critical and resistant, politicians and executives are pushing ahead anyway, and management are trying to allow democratic input. My library seems to be caught in endless rounds of focus groups, implementation groups, 'change champion meetings' etc.<br/>Enjoying your blog. I'm not really on top of 2nd Life yet but found the videos useful. Reagards, Matt Hi Michelle,
What kinds of uses were discussed for Wikis? I’ve been thinking about how a multi-campus public library could deploy a wiki during a restructure (downsize). These stressful processes seem to happen every few years (maybe it’s particularly a Canberra thing!). A ‘change management’ wiki would not be simple if staff are critical and resistant, politicians and executives are pushing ahead anyway, and management are trying to allow democratic input. My library seems to be caught in endless rounds of focus groups, implementation groups, ‘change champion meetings’ etc.
Enjoying your blog. I’m not really on top of 2nd Life yet but found the videos useful. Reagards, Matt

It was great to meet you yesterday.
