=Welcome to TDSB Teacher-librarian wiki=

The purpose of this Wiki is to create a dynamic handbook providing instructions for running an excellent library with a program that will improve student achievement.

The headings on the left menu are merely a starting point. Discussion tabs can be used to discuss placement of items. The menu items may be changed as needed. Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise.

Adding To or Changing a Page
All changes to each page can be seen in the **history tab** at the top (right beside the discussion tab). If you click on it you can see who has been working on the page and if you click on the date, you can actually see exactly what was done (they use highlighting to show what was added, deleted, etc...).

Although everything is recorded in history page, you can also **leave a note** in the small box at the bottom of the page before you save any changes you did. For example, if I went in and only changed the formatting of a title, you may not be interested, if I added a new site for you to look at it may be something you want to check out.

Tips for Navigation
Here is a tip to help you navigate around the wiki and find new material easily -
 * If you click on the recent activity tab on the left hand side of the page you will be able to see all activity and when it happened. This way you can visit the sites that have been changed since your last visit easily without having to click through each page!

Did You Make An Orphan Page?
These are pages to which there is no link - this means no one can see them. If you want to find out what pages are orphaned:
 * 1) Click on the **Manage Wiki** text link at the top left.
 * 2) Click on **Pages** under Content.
 * 3) Click on the **Orphaned** tab.
 * 4) All of those pages are orphaned, with the exception of **space.menu**. That has to stay. If you recognize any of the pages there, please create a link to them on the appropriate page using the instructions at Wiki Instructions

Is Everything in its Place?
We need to be sure that we are "cataloguing" and "weeding" our information in our wiki too. As you are looking through, see if there is anything repeated or out of place and then use the **editing instructions** above to delete and move things around by copying and pasting!
