%T Wiki Start up Advice: Using a Wiki for Intra and Interdepartmental Communication
%U https://beta-documents.el-una.org/id/eprint/297/
%X Sarah Theimer, Assistant Department Head, Cataloging, Syracuse University.    This session will present some of the wonderful things wikis can do and how we got ours up and running. Many communication problems can be relieved by a good wiki, but it isn’t as simple as downloading the software. The right environment should be in place to maximize the positive impact. The session will discuss the philosophical and practical issues involved, along with the pitfalls and successes (including wikiphobia) experienced when advocating a Cataloging departmental wiki and marketing it to staff at the Syracuse University Library.
