Over a decade ago, the Wisconsin State Law Library shifted many of its manuals and documentation to an internal staff wiki. Learn how the library set its initial goals for an online staff manual, and how those markers of success have changed over the years. Walk away from this program with a step-by-step plan to develop and improve your own knowledge sharing platforms.

This presentation breaks down the planning and discovery process to start or move to a new internal knowledge management system. The presentation includes a PowerPoint slideshow with interactive, live polling. Polling questions are used to incorporate the audience's concerns into the discussion of the library's experience, and foster questions and discussion. Handouts include the presentation, a sample style guide, and a sample staff survey.
