#16 Learn about wikis and discover some innovative ways that libraries are using them

I watched the video by Meredith Gorran Farkas from Norwich University and also read about Wiki's. Wiki's have a tremendous value, but, for a person such as myself, not having total control over the content would take some getting used to. I really like the idea of a guide to a city for a conference. This would be a great resource for new attendees. This would also be true for a community. What a great resource for a newcomer to find all the great places, etc in an area. Using the information from Wiki's for research is another thing altogether. Given the ability for them to be edited by anyone, leaves too much open for error.I can see many uses for wikis in a professional setting, such as the library. It would be a great way to work on policy and procedures, giving staff the opportunity for input. It would be a great way for people to express innovative ideas. Sometimes, a thought or idea needs to be jotted down immediately, and being able to put it on a wiki at any time would keep the creative process going
