About Wiki@UCSF

A wiki is a website that lets people collaborate and share information quickly ("wiki" is the Hawaiian word for "fast"). The Library is offering a wiki powered by Confluence software and organized into collaboration areas called spaces. Wiki users can view, create and edit pages in these spaces with an easy-to-use web interface. The wiki can also be used as a place to store and share documents.
