Using Focus Groups to Learn About Her Wiki

Merrie Davidson, the psychology, sociology, and linguistics librarian at the University of Florida in Gainesville, has a great article by this title in the January 2008 issue of Computers in Libraries.

As a former reference librarian, I was immediately intrigued by how she used her blog turned wiki as an extension of the consultation she was already providing to individual students and faculty. It seemed like a great way to disseminate information to a broader audience.

After reading the results of her focus groups, I'm curious to see how and if NEFLIN members are reading our blog and using our wikis. Hmmmm.... sounds like we might need to get Merrie to come lead a workshop.
