  15. The projects section is my favorite part of the intranet. They allow us to blend our ideas and keep an eye on what is going on in our very busy organization. Even when I am not working directly on a project, it allows me to contribute. It creates a library without departmental borders. From a cataloger's perspective, things are classified together neatly and never lost. - Katrina Piechnik (Head of Technical Services) Nicole C. Engard – NFAIS Meeting – June 29, 2007

  16. Kathy Coon – Deputy Director • It has cut down on some of the clutter in my inbox. Now that the important facts are on the project pages, I no longer save everything! • It's great having everything related to a project in one place. • When I worked on my annual report last year, it helped put the year in perspective. Nicole C. Engard – NFAIS Meeting – June 29, 2007

  18. Once your project is done, what do you do with all of those documents you were passing back & forth? • Store them on a shared drive? • Add links to them to your intranet? • Store them in your email? • Print them out? Nicole C. Engard – NFAIS Meeting – June 29, 2007

  19. At Jenkins we’d use a wiki Nicole C. Engard – NFAIS Meeting – June 29, 2007
