#16 So what’s in a wiki?

Create a blog post about your findings. What did you find interesting? What types of applications within libraries might work well with a wiki?

FREEDOM and lots of it - freedom to read, contribute, delete, change, suggest, comment, argue a point.

Wikis are a wonderful collaborate environment that allows anybody to publish or change what someone else had published - question it. The internet really is the last place where we can enjoy such freedom and libraries are in a unique position to exploit it and engage with our communities.

Wikis work really well in a readers advisory capacity, online book groups, online teen space to discuss topical issues being covered in school/life, great place for librarians to share knowledge.
