It's a wiki world.

There were some interesting applications of wikis in libraries. I liked the subject guide function and the best practice forum. The benefits and cons of this tool have been discussed at length it seems. Not having to know html or code and also the openness and collaborative aspect of wikis are definite benefits. The cons really pivot upon the fact that anyone can make changes and as seen in the Library Success wiki, they even now require email registration as saboteurs have apparently taken their toll. Despite the cons, there exists the potential for internal and external uses in a library. I think the internal potential for project collaboration is fabulous. A central place to work online, work with different versions of documents and just making all the content easily available is a wonderful part of wiki use. Externally, a book review library wiki or subjects guides would be great as participation and collaboration can make the content stronger and more relevant to the user groups.
