Re: [IUG] Internal Wiki for III information

[Margaret Peloquin <peloquin at austincc dot edu>]

We use a different flavor wiki for all of our internal procedures not 
just III.   We have used a hosted wiki called eTouch SamePage for 
roughly a year now and it has been wildly successful.  Subwikis are 
called projects and we have 36 projects covering broad areas like 
Circulation or Reference.  The wiki now contains over 1400 pages and 
1600 attachments.  It is easily searchable and almost more importantly 
for us, pages are easy to edit for the uninitiated.   Since we are a 
seven campus college, this has made consistent operations and procedures 
much easier.  I recommend using a wiki.  Don't know how we got along 
without it.  (Actually, I do know and it wasn't easy.)

If you are interested, the other domain administrator and I did a 
presentation last October about the process we went through deciding 
what to do.  It's at
