…though, to the technologically challenged like myself, the long definition kind of made my head feel like it was exploding! However, what I basically got out of it is that a wiki is a unique way for anyone in a community to post or edit a piece of work. The best example of a wiki? Why, Wikipedia, of course!
“Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki” is a place where librarians can come together and share ideas about libraries. In their own words, “basically, if you know of anything that might be useful to other librarians (including useful websites), this is the place to put it.” They emphasize the point that anyone (note the bold print) is welcome to contribute to this online librarian community. Naturally, there is a long list of topics ranging from “Management and Leadership” to “UnConferences”. It is a place where librarians from all over can come together to collaborate and learn from each other.
What a wiki-ly, er, wickedly awesome idea!
