Wiki subject guides

Why maintain a subject guide on the wiki?

• Quickly update on your own
• See changes take effect immediately
• Organize to your taste; reorganize when you wish
• Tailor to specific course or faculty needs
• Show students and faculty how your skills relate to their current work

How will a wiki subject guide affect my regular subject guide?

• Content on each platform is your choice
• Suggestion: 
  Leave slow-to-change material on Web subject guide;
  Migrate quickly changing material to wiki
• Web subject guide can contain links to your material on the wiki
  • Ex: Contents of Apparel & Textile Marketing moves to AT 245
    while Subject Guide: Apparel & Textiles stays as referring page.
• Enhances your Web subject guide; doesn't replace it
