Like a well-oiled military machine under the command of General George S. Patton, our team came together last Thursday evening to “attack” our wiki project head-on. Today, I proudly come before my fellow VIClanders to announce that we have met the enemy on the glorious field of battle, and we have emerged VICtorious!
(In the background, the band plays Happy Days Are Here Again as the crowd claps and cheers.)
It was not an easy struggle...but then again...nothing great ever comes easy; especially the making of a great resource wiki. It takes determination, hard work, and perseverance from a dedicated, intelligent group of people who come together to form a cohesive team and work for a greater, common cause. Our cause was to make the lives of the IU Southeast reference librarians easier, and we have succeeded in that mission.
(Chants of, VICtory! VICtory! VICtory! Echo from the crowd.)
Therefore, I would like to take this time to reassure those women who serve at the IU Southeast Library Reference Desk: Nancy, Gabrielle, Jackie, Benita, Phyllis, Melanie, and Maria that they will never have to wonder where to go if they need information concerning reference service policies, special collections, or reserves; the answers they seek are now safe, secure, and readily available. All they have to do is click here: http://iusreference.wikispaces.com/
God bless you all...and God bless VICland.

So you really like our wiki, eh? I do too. I think everyone did a great job. It looks nice, everything is orderly, and if I may say so... the Web resources page has some great sites listed. Hehehe! But really, I am so glad that you all worked so well together. I know I wasn't there for most of the meetings, so all I knew was what I could see happening on the wiki itself and the notes from the meetings, and all of our correspondances. Which, in a way, between all of that, I felt like I was there. Thanks for helping to keep me informed. I think our project turned out great. Now it's time for training and usability... FUN FUN FUN!
Ooh! I never thought of VICtorious! I hope you don't mind if I use it sometime, Michael. Thanks.
