Description

A library instruction program includes multiple librarians dealing with changing information and gaining independently held bits of knowledge, This knowledge should be coordinated, shared, and built upon. Constant rediscovery, uncoordinated efforts, lack of smart use of others' talents, and unawareness of key information can lead to less than optimal outcomes. Wikis are an excellent way to close these gaps and improve inefficiencies. Wikis are increasingly used to manage information in organizations, and libraries are beginning to employ them. Use everyone's specific experiences and valuable individual expertise!
