Thing #16 - What's in a wiki?

How I wish there were wiki's in ancient times, like when I was in school doing projects and papers collaboratively with other students. Evidently, they are quick to build and they definitely afford all users the ability to easily edit, change or rewrite the stuff you are collectively dealing with. The Booklovers Reading Club wiki linked to the Princeton Public Library was cool. Wiki's are a natural for book clubs, especially when members are homebound or not able to physically get together. The ALA 2006 New Orleans wiki was very informative. There is a link to fundamentals of editing which helped me understand that process and also a very good link to help you understand the 3 types of hyperlinks. Finally, the Library Success wiki is a great place for libraries to share success stories and collectively develop best practices in our industry.
