Wikis

While reviewing ALA’s website, I came across an interesting article in the Association of College and Research Libraries division on wikis. I must admit, my previous experience with a wiki only includes reading information on wikipedia. I was especially eager to view the article because a forthcoming class project depends on my ability to create and edit information in pbwiki.

The article, Using a wiki to manage library instruction program: Sharing knowledge to better serve, offered good points for the support of employing a wiki to manage library programs. However, the lack of monitoring information included in a wiki is my only issue with using this technology.
