Wierd and wonderful wikis

This week I have looked at Wikis, and think they could be a marvellous tool for collectively-writting or editing articles, reviewing books and tackling joint projects. Libraries could use open wikis for gathering feedback from the community, or use wikis that are limited to approved users for internal use. In developing training or resources, they would be superb.

I can also see lots of benefits for people doing committee work - wikis seem a marvellous way of sharing the writing of articles, web content and publications, and for facilitating joint input to all sorts of documents.

As a chronically addicted committee person I look forward to exploring wikis further in that role and the library where I work. Exciting stuff!
