Dear Colleagues Thank you for the responses to my email request, I have summarised them below. Regards Dan Leach The following lists the responses I had to my original email. Free PBWiki software The software is free and relatively straightforward to use plus there is a search engine which is quite sufficient for the needs of the manual Word Documents with hyperlinks This method is easy to use and maintain but can result in a large file size and be a bit clunky for some. The documents can be linked to from a desktop icon so only the most up to date material is shown. Through the VLE (blackboard) Used to store staff training material which can be easily recalled and viewed with screen shots and instructions. Used by staff to recall things that only occur occasionally acting as a refresher. Triaster - A business process modelling tool Allows the mapping of high level processes with underlying information in documents. PDF documents linked through a content page. Thanks again Dan Leach -----Original Message----- From: A general Library and Information Science list for news and discussion.

I am interested to know how other institutions have managed this and what advice you would give regards * How this has been done electronically e.g. software, wiki etc * How the content list is presented * How the manual is searchable * What sort of layout you have found most effective for getting the information across quickly and clearly All advice would be gratefully received please reply to me personally and I will summarise responses for the list.
