Thing 12: Intranet

These things just keep on getting easier! For this week's thing, put some content on the library intranet. If you absolutely can't find anything you can put on the intranet, find something you can comment on.

As always, once you've done it, write a blog post and tell us about it!

Thing 11: Wikis

Once again, you probably already know about wikis. If you don't, go find out, I'll wait!

OK, did you try PBworks? How about Wet Paint?

But let me challenge you a little more. Check out this use of wikis in libraries:

The Ohio University Libraries Biz Wiki

For this week's Thing,

• Find another innovative use of a library wiki
• Link to it and tell us about it
• Put on your thinking cap and see if you can brainstorm some other idea

Thing 10: Google Docs

You know the drill. Go check out Google Docs. Here I'll make it easier, watch this:



For this Thing:

• Post an example of one thing that you could begin doing on Google Docs
• At a later time (hopefully after you've tried it) post again and tell us how it worked out

Core Values - April - Cooperation

The Core Value of Cooperation is defined in the Strategic Plan this way:

• Takes responsibility for completing work assignments and projects on time
• Offering assistance to those who might need help in their commitments
• Responds appropriately and in a timely manner to requests for assistance from co-workers Communicates an impending missed deadline to those who may be affected
• Shows flexibility in adapting to scheduling, work loads, and work flow
• Makes a positive contribution to solving problems.

For this month's Core Value, we are asking everyone interested in participating to attend a different team meeting than their own.

Once you've sat in on another team meeting, post to your blog any reflections you may have on the experience, especially if it fostered some inter-team collaboration.
