Thing 5: Wikis

Wikis are very useful tools for libraries. Most places I've worked/interned have used at least a basic wiki as a means of internal communication. By their nature, anybody can be made an editor, and the information stays consistent and in one place (unlike, say, a chain of emails).

When I redesigned the RALC website, I chose to include a wiki so that all RALC members could participate as editors on internal communication. Though I still function as the main website administrator, any RALC member can add minutes of their meetings and update contact information on the fly.
