I'm starting to think maybe I was wrong! I know, I know, it seems impossible (hmm, I guess you're all thinking that what is impossible is that I'll actually admit I'm wrong - me being wrong is fairly normal?) I finally had time to watch the little vid clips that the L&P team provide on their blog, and I think they might be right - Wikis are cool!
What I'm thinking about wikis:
- Someone on my branch staff had suggested a month ago that we should start a local history blog for the Linden Community. I'm thinking, now, that a wiki would be more functional and use-able. It would be great to get local folks contributing as well as library staff. I'd love to make/post some video footage of interviews with community elders!
- A Wiki would make it much easier to handle things like the Ready to Read Ambassador organization. We just need to figure out how to make/use a calendar in it.
- Sharepoint kind of sucks (I've always found it clunky), and a wiki would be easier to keep up with.
- I'm still convinced that a wiki is only as valuable and as strong as the people involved in it's writing.

Wikis have there place, you're right.
Sharepoint isn't my favorite either. Too many downloads/uploads required but I like the announcement feature.
Wikis ARE as strong as the writers. Perfectly said!
You make a great point. For many things you only get out of it what you put into it. Sadly, I think we see this a lot at the library every day.
