Use some of these wikis to see how this flexible tool is being used in libraryland. Write a short blog entry about your favorite library wiki or about an application for a wiki that you might see in our own library.
All the wikis seem pretty neat, so I don't think I have a favorite. Sure, some are more useful or more attractive than others, but over all I think the concept is a great idea.
As for an application for our library...
Much like my coworkers, I think that a wiki has great potential for a library intranet.
One more possible application...
I hate to bring these terms up, but...when the time comes again, could strategic planning committees in our library and in other areas of the university make good use of a wiki? I remember when strategic planning, QEPs, objectives, goals, and the like became a big issue here...and these big issues came with lots of meetings. It seems that a wiki could lighten that burden. Sure, it would have to have some tighter rules, guidelines, and restrictions on who could create or edit content (only members of the committees, verified by EKU email?), but it's possible and could save time.
