KSU iPad Users wiki now open to the public

Posted on by Mary Hammel

The KSU iPad Users wiki was started last November as a way to share information brought up in the monthly meetings. Users previously had to request access and log in with a user ID and password. This was confusing and an extra step to many, so it has now been made public.
