#16 So what’s in a wiki?

I'm reasonably familiar with wikis, but it was still interesting to look at some of the library wikis around. The idea of using a wiki in a desk-manual / ready reference / trouble shooting role has been raised a few times at SLV.
I liked the University of Connecticut Libraries' Staff Wiki as an example of this kind of use.
There are lots of useful pages, the usual hardware / software guides, troubleshooting etc - and I liked the idea of using the wiki to track roster swaps as well.
