Refwiki is a new web resource for all PALS libraries to use and contribute to. It will include information about each library's collection strengths, online databases, and other resources. And the goal is for it to include a lot more! Refwiki is a collaborative effort built on the same platform as Wikipedia, which means that anyone in a PALS library can add or change pages using simple formatting marks, without needing special software.

This hands-on class will cover:

• Overview of Refwiki
• Editing a library's resource-survey form
• Editing and adding pages in Refwiki
• Page reversion, "special" pages, and other wiki features

See Refwiki at http://www.palsnet.info/refwiki.
