Week 9 Wikis and Rollyo

Wikis look like one of the most useful applications for our enterprises. Fortuitously for this exercise our IT department is considering the purchase of Confluence http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/wiki.jsp that would allow each hospital department - plus of course the library - to have their own wiki to advertise services, provide training information and keep abreast of developments etc.
I also set up a Rollyo account and built my search roll. I based it on the movies of Powell and Pressburger (who created one of my favourites "I Know Where I'm Going") and it proved pretty good at bringing up the required info. I could see this app. being useful for specific subjects and interests but again there is always the question of maitenance and vigilance so that the websites included remain relevant and up-to-date.

  1. That's a great point about the currency of information in your Rollyo search engines. Your IT department introducing wikis sounds great! Fiona
