#14 - wiki

Back in SLAIS, we used wikis extensively on group projects that involved more than 2 members (which was, nearly every group project). It was a great way to author chunks of an assignment, post it, and then see what everyone else was up to in almost-real-time.

The Princeton BookLover's wiki is wonderfully laid out. And prizes for book reviewers? Hot dawg. Libraries can pretty much craft their own websites out of wiki's, but other off the cuff ideas include be an online book club discussion thingy. It wouldn't work, necessarily, for content that needed to be approved before publication, like book reviews or community event postings.

Hey, maybe one day we might even consider committee meetings via wiki eh? Eh?

Yeah, the painful optimism hat's coming off now.
