I am at a junior high (7th - 9th) that is on three different schedules - one for each grade! That makes reserving the media center for the teachers to bring in their classes a little more difficult. I have to make sure that the classes do not overlap each other. I can't just put 3rd period on the schedule because that means three different time periods. To help the teachers see when the media center is reserved and when it is free, I put a calendar on my wiki. Below is the address to. The teachers can look at the calendar, but they do not have access to the wiki. That way a teacher's reservation can't be deleted from the calendar. It's a little more work (I still keep a paper calendar.), but I think the teachers like being able to go to the web instead of having to come to the media center to see what is available.

I use wikispaces.com. I have several that I use and for a variety of reasons:

1. I have one that I use for the professional development workshops that I teach. It is an easy way to share information. http://professionaldevelopmentworkshops.wikispaces.com/ 2. I belong to a collaborative group here in Garland County of public, school and academic librarians. We use the wiki to share ideas and post digital copies of things we share in our meetings. http://wedewey.wikispaces.com/ 3. I have used a wiki with the Arkansas Teen Book Award Steering Committee and with the Readers as well. The readers used the wiki to discuss the books that they were reading to determine which books were placed on the reading list for Arkansas teens. http://arkansasteenbookaward.wikispaces.com/ and http://arkansasteenaward.wikispaces.com/ 4. I have the wiki for the AAIM conference http://aaimconference.wikispaces.com/ as well as the wiki for planning the conference http://aaim2010.wikispaces.com/. 5. I also have one for my library. I have used it to post announcements for the library, for class assignments, etc. MUCH easier to update/change than a website. http://cmsmediacenter.wikispaces.com/ Jana Dixon, LMS, NBCT

My library wiki is great for parents, students, and teachers. I post everything on it and use it for info purposes only - they don't reply back. The students/parents/teachers are made aware of new arrivals, know what the lessons for each week will be, etc. Check it out at http://meslibrary-katztracks.wikispaces.com Melissia Cooper

Wikis are a quick and easy way to get documents to those that need them to share. If someone says I need that file; post it and they can get to it instead of emailing it to everyone. http://aaimlibrarywiki.wikispaces.com/ Rachel Shankles
