I am an elemetary school librarian. I use wikis to share information about book lists, such as those with examples of figurative language, great opening papagraphs, good to teach inference, etc. I start the lists and then teachers can add to them or I add books as I find them.

I also have a wiki to publish podcasts of book reviews that students write and video.

I also set up a wiki for all the librarians in our district so we can share info, have a central location for lists, addresses, fixes for software problems, etc.

I also use wikis as sources of handouts, resource lists, and other information that participants need during workshops. Participants like being able to access the info at home after the workshop.

My wiki site is the HUB of my library! It's linked to the main website (or will be, once I revamp it this summer). It's where I collect all my resource links. ALL of my pathfinders are wikis; I have a separate administrator code, but also a student code so they can get it and add resources. It makes for some good discussions about good/bad sites, etc.

Awesome- I just graduated from the College of St. Catherine, which has ties to Dominican. I'm sure we've probably had some of the same professors. Good luck, and stay in touch if there is anything else I can do for you :) – Rachel Pennig, on May 23, 2008 00:16

Hi Rachel,
I am going to Dominican University in River Forest, IL. Thanks for the ideas for my dept. wiki. I will also take a look at the library examples and the webinars.

Thanks for the help! So far, PBWiki is great!

Carrie - welcome to the discussion. What library school are you going to?

I used a wiki in the last library I worked at. I used it to keep track of my frequently ordered supplies, my policies and procedures for item checkouts, my stats, even for tracking my renegade patrons.

Be sure to check out our library examples on this page: https://educators.pbwiki.com/Example+...

and check out our librarian webinars here: www.pbwiki.com/content/webinars.

Stay in touch!

I am in library school right now, and I just started using pbwiki in one of my classes. I currently work in a library, and I am thinking about creating a wiki for my department. Anyone have any ideas on what types of things would be helpful on a department wiki? P.S. I work in circulation.

Hi, Corinne. I've just started a similar project. My library is expanding and digitizing our manual for library clerks. How is your project coming along? I can be reached at rmalino2 [at] uiuc [dot] edu – Residence Hall Libraries, on May 13, 2008 19:09

Sinful Seven Layer Bars
Melt 1 stick of margarine in a 9x12 pan, stir in 1 tsp. vanilla.
Mix 1 Tbsp. flour into 1 1/2 c. Graham Cracker crumbs, sprinkle evenly over the melted mixture and pat into a crust. Layer on a cup of each of the following: flaked coconut, butterscotch chips, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Pour a can of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk over all (it;s the 'glue'). Sprinkle one cup of chopped pecans over all. Bake at 325 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes until the top is pale golden brown. Cool thoroughly, cut into small squares, store or gorge.
