Debbie Ginsberg's Legal and Law Library Wiki

This wiki will gather information about library, legal, university, law school, and law library wikis. It will include links to articles as well as links to relevant wikis. It is based on the presentation given by Deborah Ginsberg and Bonnie Shucha at the American Association of Law Libraries 2005 Annual Conference.

I also will try to use this wiki to create my article for Spectrum

I'm leaving the generic text here until I can figure this out.

First Steps

The username and password for the administrative account is admin, admin.

Important: Log in as admin and go to Preferences to change your password!

On this page: image_logo_url put just the url for the logo that you want in the upper left corner of your wiki.

Control the rights of anonymous and logged in users through the Control Panel (which can be found in the toolbox on the left side of this page).
Add the url for your wiki to the Categorized wiki list. Simply edit that page and put your wiki under the appropriate category.

Add this wiki to some external wiki indexes:

If you are feeling adventurous and know a little about web design you can edit the javascript and css to the Header to change the look of your wiki.
- You must log as admin to do this
- Whatever you enter in this page will be added to the html in the header after the standard style sheet, so you can override styles.
Read the User's Guide for other usage and configuration help.

Add a message to the Feedback Page if you see anything that could be improved.
