KLA Media Wiki training

Day One

The KLA conducted this training a the School of Monetary Studies from 3rd to 5th December 2007. Participants were taken through basics of uploading items on the wiki in order to main wsflibrary wiki. The session was very interesting as each participant updated their pages and blogs on the wiki.

The purpose of this workshop is to create a critial mass of librarians that will upload and maintain wsflibrary wiki. Kudos to KSMS, their services are very fantastic. Talk of the internet connection,, its the firstest connection I have used. The training environment is very good for participants to learn how to use the wikis.

Day Two

Day two was also good and on the bad side of it was that the internet connection was very slow compared to the previous day. We had a presentation from Julie, she works with the [www.lib.umich.edu University of Michigan Library] USA in the Special Library Branch. She is also a social change activist and she is also involved in the world Social forum activities

We also had a presentation form Rosemary, Chairperson, KLA. She took us through the physical documents collected fduring the Nairobi WSF. She alosd informed us that they managd to get two volunteers who complied the list of all materials collected. She also mentioned that the Finnish Embassy r has provided space to KLA where those materials will be kept.

After the presentation participants discussed  the way forward for WSFlibrary.
