Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery - Staff Wiki
Minutes from 6-10-08 Meeting
Present: Janet Hack (JH), Michelle Flinchbaugh (MF), Lindsey Loeper (LL)
Announcements:
One no longer needs to log in to view the Library Wiki
LEC has approved our suggestions presented to them at the 6/3/08 meeting, including:
Making an archive folder in AllShare and moving all data there from before 2005
Creating a new directory structure on the I-Drive (limited to full access directories only) and distributing AllShare data to them
Moving the Library Procedures Manual to Confluence
Training plan for Confluence
Per LEC approval, we began to archive everything older than 2006 in the AllShare folder on the I-Drive in the "2008Archive" subfolder within AllShare
Some folders were unable to be moved to the archive folder, "Access Denied," -- JH will ask May
JH will send out an email to library staff to inform them that we have begun archiving information from the AllShare folder
New Structure for I-Drive
Departments and all other folders stay where they are on the I-Drive
We will send a request to OIT to make the following folders on the I-Drive on the same level as the Departments, etc.,:
A full access folder, "Committees" for committee and working group documents.
Within this folder will be subfolders for specific committees, e.g. CDMWG, Cheers, CONTENTdm, PR&Marketing, etc. However, we believe LEC will stay in LibDocs
A full access folder, "Multi-Departmental" or "Interdepartmental" which will hold documents that multiple departments use
A full access folder, "AllLibrary" or "Library-Wide" for library-wide documents and information
Moving Procedures Manual to Confluence:
JH's student can copy existing guidelines into Confluence
We may make 2 Tables of Contents to the guidelines
One TOC could be for internal use, with revision date and responsible parties
The second would be for those outside the library
It may be possible to make policies as children of a particular section, so that we can display all the children as the TOC
JH will test this out
We will tag the guidelines with appropriate labels
Probably each member of the group will get a section to tag
We will do some usability testing after tagging to make sure that appropriate documents are retrieved and information needs are met
Confluence Training Plan
JH will email Collier at OIT to see if they're going to offer Confluence training; and if so when it will take place
LEC members expressed interest in having departments who have implemented the use of Confluence share what they've done with other deparments
HM came up with the idea to have a training session where we would make a library cookbook using the wiki
SG and LL will talk to HM about doing this training session together
LL came up with the idea to give away copies of an old library cookbook away as prizes
