EVOKE Librarians
Just a quick idea.
I work as a librarian and would be willing to offer up an hour or two every week over the next ten weeks to do research or help people find resources for any project they are working on for EVOKE.
If you need help researching a subject, please send me a message or leave a comment. I will try my best to help you.
I noticed that there are a few other librarians out there in EVOKE, so if they would like to help also, please send me a message so we can work together.

I think the aspect of EVOKE that needs librarians is filtering and managing all the data we're producing. Do you have any ideas how we can do this?

I was thinking of setting up a wiki (I have a website where I could do this) to allow people to manage their information, organized according to the EVOKE powers perhaps? Does this seem like a good idea?

Thanks for pointing that out! I missed it completely.
The only problem with it is
1. it seems to be drowning in advertisements, making it a little hard to use
2. people don't seem to be aware of it (it was last used hours ago, which doesn't reflect the level of activity on Evoke)
3. no one has taken on the task of helping organize it
But the question is, will another one make any difference?

Your moment of zen: it will always work if you want it to work.
Really, though, do whatever you want wiki-wise: I've always found Wikidot or PBWiki to be nice, as they don't plaster your site with ads. It always works better when it comes from the players. :)

Awesome idea! Though I'm only cousin to librarians (as an archivist), I'd be happy to put my Google-fu to good use. I wonder what the possibilities of setting up something like the IPL'a Ask a Librarian service would be. Wikis are great and all, but with all of the interest in Evoke, it could get very unwieldy. +1 for PBWiki, though.

You're signed up! I really like the IPL'a Ask a Librarian idea. And yes, I'm still rather unsure about the wiki.

I'm not a Librarian myself (I'm still at school) but I am the Deputy Head of the largest school Library in the Southern Hemisphere, and I'm all for Project Librarian! Any need for research (particularly on Antarctica - we have a benefactor who's crazy about the place) and I will gladly lend a hand. Good idea, Mr o'Duinn. Thank you.
