Wikis

In general, I like wikis. I think they're a great way for groups to collaborate and share ideas, rather than having to e-mail back and forth with input, notes, corrections, etc. Data and document management are also wonderful tools for collaboration; I am excited about the prospect of having a shared drive on DeskNow, which is very similar in format to a Thompson-Gale database we utilized at an accounting firm where I worked. Using wikis for public information can be a difficult prospect, as my previous post on credible information access details. A good resource for discovering how librarians, as colleagues, can benefit from the use of wikis can be found at: http://www.libsuccess.org
