Last night I was part of a pan\u00adel speak\u00ading to the SLA<\/span><\/acronym> WCC<\/span><\/acronym>. This is an inter\u00adest\u00ading bunch of people, the lib\u00adrar\u00adi\u00adans for vari\u00adous com\u00adpan\u00adies, gov\u00adern\u00adment depart\u00adments, and of course uni\u00adver\u00adsit\u00adies. The pan\u00adel (every\u00adone else was a lib\u00adrar\u00adi\u00adan) was speak\u00ading about blogs and wikis and how they are being used with\u00adin their organ\u00adiz\u00ada\u00adtions. To be more pre\u00adcise, the oth\u00ader four speak\u00aders talked about how their organ\u00adiz\u00ada\u00adtions use these tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies, while I did a bit of a wrap-up at the end with lots of pretty pic\u00adtures, talk\u00ading about some of the things people need to think about when deploy\u00ading. My slides are here<\/a>; be warned that the file is fairly big (all those pictures!)<\/p>\n

With five speak\u00aders in not much more than an hour, we did\u00adn\u2019t have a lot of time to go into detail. Check out the pro\u00adgramme<\/a> for the list of speak\u00aders and a brief sum\u00admary of what they talked about.<\/p>\n

One thing I found inter\u00adest\u00ading when talk\u00ading to people at the meet\u00ading was the almost uni\u00adver\u00adsal theme of how hard it was to get the IT<\/span> depart\u00adment to do things. The suc\u00adcess\u00adful deploy\u00adments either had the ini\u00adti\u00adat\u00adive come down from on high, so IT<\/span> had to imple\u00adment it, or they were using out\u00adside-hos\u00adted free ser\u00advices (which has its own issues). <\/p>\n

And then there was the issue of get\u00adting people to con\u00adtrib\u00adute to the wiki or blog; not as easy as it may sound. Tracey Car\u00admi\u00adchael talked about how the BC<\/span> Secur\u00adit\u00adies Com\u00admis\u00adsion uses a wiki intern\u00adally to track new types of invest\u00adments, and poin\u00adted out that many people who have strong opin\u00adions in dis\u00adcus\u00adsions did\u00adn\u2019t want to com\u00admit those to a wiki. She thought maybe they were nervous of writ\u00ading some\u00adthing that was later found to be incor\u00adrect; I wondered how much is due to people not wish\u00ading to be seen to speak for oth\u00aders. These sorts of issues prob\u00adably also have a large organ\u00adiz\u00ada\u00adtion\u00adal cul\u00adture com\u00adpon\u00adent to them \u2014 in Sun I haven\u2019t noticed any reti\u00adcence to using wikis (except for maybe a lack of time and motiv\u00ada\u00adtion for con\u00adtrib\u00adut\u00ading con\u00adtent) so they are used a lot for pro\u00adjects in my experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
