I often share my Blog entries with my family members and I'm sure if I told my 80-year-old father about wikis he would call them a new-fangled "hen party" opportunity. My first experience with a wiki was here at CCPL. I was introduced and welcomed as a new employee on our pipeline. Shortly thereafter I tried to help Marlene add a photograph to a new entry. I quickly learned about sizing pictures in Microsoft Office Manager. I was pleased about the simplification of sizing photos with Blogger.
Wikis are an opportunity to create online communities and share news in a group setting with many contributors. I have shyed away from using Wikipedia as a reliable source but I think it could be useful when searching for Web 2.0 type inquiries. I explored many wikis and found them all to be distinctly different. I loved the Book Lovers Wiki and it is another opportunity for reviews and reader's advisory. Leave it to the ALA to have a wiki for a specific event. All of the wikis I reviewed are wonderful opportunities to share and input information.
