Week 7 #16 Wikis

Wikis are useful for many things such as book reviews, sharing community events and info such as best mechanic, restaurants, etc.

In wikis the information is edited, changed rewritten. It is collaborative writing, pooling knowledge, exchanging ideas.

It is good for something where the subject changes or needs frequent updating.

Wikis are good for library staff for policies, information, projects, conferences, innovative things and collective knowledge of the library community.

Library sucess wiki http://www.libsuccess.org

the content is collaboratively developed and web editing is easy. Internally we can share info among librarians and externally we can share online with the community.

The largest wiki is wikipedia. the first wiki was wikiwikiweb.
