Ricky wiki

You know when someone mumbles your nickname and it sounds like another word? Well this was a flash back to my youth when I mother would call me Ricky, a nickname that is only good until you reach double digits. Well when I first heard of "wiki" I could almost hear my mother calling me.
It has taken a bit for my wiki to catch on. At first I had created a wiki centered around the geneaology research I am doing on my family. Then I realized that I am the only person who would be contribting to the wiki and abandoned that idea. So I then focused on group activites and that is when I realized the montly pot luck lunches we have would be a good candidate for a wiki.
Library specific wiki use for our special library could center around staff contributing citations of articles they have read and recommend to other staff. This is currently done on a one to one basis. Making this more of a community sharing would open the possibility of others benifitting from this type of sharing.
I have just finished a meeting of the Interagency Council on Information Resources in Nursing of which I am president. One of the main products of ICIRN is Essential Nursing Resources. ENR is a compilation of all types of references and resources used by nurses in teaching, research and patient care. By moving this resource to a wiki it would allow it to be shared more freely and most importantly we could expand the contibutors to this resource and thus increase its value. I have put the idea to ICIRN but now I will need to work to make it happen.
