Wikis are catching on in the library world. What’s a Wiki? "The simplest online database that could possibly work." (Quote from: "Making the Case for a Wiki.")
Here’s a few examples of how Wikis are being used:
- ALA Chicago 2005 Main Page (the unofficial wiki for the 2005 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago)
- Butler WikiRef (Butler University Libraries’ Reference Wiki)
- Canadian Library Association (CLA) Calgary 2005 Main Page
- LITS Wiki (Jean and Alexander Heard Library,Vanderbilt University)
- MyLibrary Wiki (Eric Lease Morgan)
- University of Connecticut Libraries’ Staff Wiki
- University of Minnesota Libraries Staff Web Site
If you want to dig in and learn more about Wikis, try Gerry McKiernan’s WikiBibliography.
For scholarly literature on Wikis you should also have a look at the Wiki Research Bibliography – and contribute of course!
