Anne-Marie received her MLIS from SUNY Buffalo in 2003. She works at The Doe/Moffitt Library reference desks several hours a week assisting undergraduates with their research. She enjoys interacting with students and learning along side them. Anne-Marie became interested in the power of wikis while working on a project to put information for Doe/Moffitt Library reference staff online using wiki technology. She is inspired by the democratic accessibility of wikis and their capability to integrate new knowledge, as it is created, into a meaningful reference resource.

Corinne has worked as a reference librarian most recently at Doe/Moffitt Libraries of UC Berkeley and at JFK University. She enjoys assisting library users and simultaneously quenches her natural curiosity of just about everything, though select topics remain favorites.

This is Corinne's first presentation at a LAUC-B conference. She is looking forward to sharing the potential that the wiki can offer in a library setting through an immersion experience-- wikiwiki, fall into this stream of thoughts and see if you don't leave with a fish. (Or at least, a wiki).

• the word “wikiwiki” in Hawaiian means “quick” and also “informal”
