Week 7: #16 Wiki

I'm glad to say that this exercise was very easy. My daughter uses a wiki for one of her classes, so it is not entirely new to me. I was hesitant to enter my name and email address to log in because I thought we were allowed to be anonymous throughout the iHCPL training. After logging in, I placed my blog on the favorite blogs page. Wikis are great for groups of people who want to share information with each other or the public. They can serve specific purposes like the ALA 2007 Conference and my daughter's class. Or, like the St. Joseph Public Library did, a library can create a wiki for the public by categorizing books, links and other information by subject. Patrons find this kind of arrangement very user friendly.
