The Wiki Way
I’m not going to pontificate about the many wonderful uses of wikis, but I will link to a few of my newfound favorite wikis so you can see for yourself some of the great ways they have been used (gasp, who knew there were wikis in existence beyond Wikipedia?)…
WikiIndex: what librarian doesn’t love an index that points to other good stuff?
LibSuccess: this is the one that I discussed on our own class wiki; it’s a wiki to share best practices among LIS professionals
Book Lovers: aah, a wiki dedicated to the love of books. The book that was showcased the day I visited was Flushed: How the Plumber Saved Civilization (enough said)…
Wikiversity: I haven’t tried this one yet, but the premise is cool (I’m all about free learning materials)
Cookbook Wiki: a wiki for sharing recipes
World66: the travel guide you write (i.e., wiki focused on disseminating information about sundry travel destinations from those who have already traveled there)
And really I could go on and on and on, but, for fear of becoming as tiresome as Energizer bunny commercials tend to, I will quite there. I do reserve the right to talk about wikis again in a later post, so stay tuned :)…
