WIKI?

I found the presentation by Meredith Gorran Farkas from Norwich University quite interesting. Clicking on this address is the beginning of her presentation: http://meredith.wolfwater.com/cil06/. The number 10 in the presentation gave the steps in starting up a wiki of your own. It seems to be quite simple and could give a new and refreshing light in the communication forum. http://meredith.wolfwater.com/cil06/#10

What did I find interesting. EVERYTHING!!! I love, adore, worship, and honor COMMUNICATION. I feel it is the basis of relationships and that spreads all over the world. I really liked the Indiana St. Joseph County Public Library's Subject Guides. It lists everything most people visiting a library would be searching for. And the Wyoming author's wiki shows a wiki for authors which in turn shows there must be a host of Wyoming authors. Course, other states could pick up the tab for their winning personages if they wanted.

The applications within libraries might work well with a wiki if the library had a specific area set up for patrons to go to get the information in which they were interested. Then again that might encompass having to education some or many of them in what is in a "wiki" and how to access what they wanted. Then you have many older persons who are not computer literate and that would present a problem--possibly. With the younger generation, I don't think we would have a whole lot of worries.
