Library Wikis

I enjoyed looking at the other library related wikis. I in fact was just discussing with a coworker that the Wikimedia style wiki was reassuring to me because it was in a familiar format. I also found a wiki that has links to other library blogs and breaks them down in particular types of libraries. http://www.blogwithoutalibrary.net/links/index.php?title=Welcome_to_the_Blogging_Libraries_Wiki That could be interesting to take a look at and is a new way to publicize library blogs and use a new technology.

I like that wikis are user friendly (for the most part!) and are user generated. The issue of security is obviously a large one. Being able to invite users like we have with our wiki is one way to control who can and cannot edit the wiki.

I also like that multiple people can work on the same project from any location. Some of us here are currently looking at working on a large project this way. Fantastic!

So the world of wikis is wild and wonderful. This one of the 23things that I can really see using the most in libraries.
