Wikis look like they are a great way to present huge amounts of information in a fairly ordered way. The thing I like about them is that without much effort you can create a fairly functional site for all of your info. Those that want to put in more effort can get excellent results without being masters of web design. The Twilight wiki is a great example of this, however, unlike a website, the information on this blog is no doubt more dynamic/diverse/up-to-date because of multiple editors.
It seems as if a wiki could really evolve and take on a life of its own if given a bit of a push. I like the idea of starting a publicly available wiki on general library information (events, authors, good reads etc.) and seeing where it evolves to with input from staff and the public.
Hey Adrian, I agree with you, Wikis are great and will become very popular in the future. I also like the fact that you can work together to make it a success.

ReplyDeleteYeah about those fishies. Where d'ya get em. All the cool kids have them, I want some too.
ReplyDelete...fishies - surely when everyone has them they stop being cool (like blogs)
ReplyDeleteyeah, the fish were only cool when I had them. They stopped being cool when anyone else got them. (although I think Maya had them before me). So maybe I'm not cool. I hate the way blogs make you reasess your opinion of yourself.
