Wikis

Whenever you have a group of people, (small or large) and you all want to be able to view AND edit information on a website, wikis are a great idea.  I experimented a little bit with wikis for my Information Literacy class, my first semester in library school.  We used the wiki to review resources we had used in our research projects.  I think wikis have great applications to the library world, especially for resource guides and reviews.  In fact, my employer is maintaining a “What we’re reading” blog that might be better organized as a wiki.  I browsed through the recommended wikis for the “All together now” module and some seem better than others.  Mostly, I have a problem with the lack of organization.  I think every wiki needs to have a table of contents type listing to help users find subsequent pages.  While browsing I found a wiki that lists some of the librarian blogs called LISWiki, so if you are looking for librarian blogs, check there.
