Great article from the world of law librarianship on how wikis can be used for managing collaborative projects.
http://www.llrx.com/columns/tao10.htm
"Wikis are best used by a group of people working toward a consensus, whether it be creating an ultimate list of things or ideas, or coming to jointly agreed-upon wording in a document....Wikis are best used for convergent ideas, whereas blogs work better for divergent ideas..."
Some potential workload-reducing wiki uses: editing presentations, booking training sessions, developing reading lists, collaborating on creative content (e.g. for a book), organizing conferences, and generally reducing the need for face-to-face meetings.

Here's the link to our own wiki. I've been attempting to use it to update Services Guide. Feel free to use yourselves for whatever purposes. The password, should it be required, is mplstaff.
MPL's wiki
You're also welcome to add comments on Services Guide. I'm also looking for input from non-Circ staff as the document is intended to inform customers of library services - not just the rules and regs around membership and accounts.
At the next ispressotogo meeting (Jan 25), I will propose that the team use the MPL wiki to co-create a presentation for the next Librarian's Roundtable. I have created a wiki page for this process at MPL's wiki http://markhampubliclibraries.pbwiki.com/
