Week 7, Thing #17

I would begin using wikis as a way for the LMTs in my district to help each other stay up-to-date on a number of issues. For example, we are currently investigating new library automation systems. Making the right choice means we have to have a certain knowledge base. Do we want "federated searching"? Well, we'd all better be up to speed on the terminology if we're going to participate in this decision. The wiki would provide a "one-stop shopping" site for us to bring ourselves up to a certain level of knowledge. In that way, when we gather for our monthly meetings, we'll be able to have more focused discussions.
