Wikis and blogs

Useful tools to keep you in the loop with other public libraries and to share your skills and knowledge

The public library working groups share information through wikis and other forms of social media.  The State Library shares news with NSW public libraries through the PLS blog, In the libraries enewsletter and Public Library Services enews.  These tools can help you keep informed about what other libraries are doing and allow you to share your skills and expertise.

We are also using social media to help NSW public libraries share information. Please take a look, follow us and use the #NSWPublicLibraries hashtag when sharing to social media so that others can join the conversation.

Updating the wiki

If you work in a NSW public library and would like to add content to the working group wiki, please email pls@sl.nsw.gov.au with your name, library and preferred user name.

We have moved to a new wiki and most of the content has been moved across.  The old wiki and other sites, below have been provided for reference.
