Wikis

Wow. These wikis are really something. I realised that they were able to be updated by (almost) all and sundry but I hadn't thought about their use as an alternative to emailing before. This type of information sharing would come in useful between branches of our library service and the council service with the planning of the new library and even between libraries with purchasing ,or aligning of collections, of books.

Even the adding of information as it comes to hand is very useful. Some of the smaller groups within the library can use these with ease to concentrate their ideas for meetings and such.

Wikis may lead to incorrect information from time to time but as it is quite quick to edit any text this probably would be caught before any great lentgh of time has passed.

I might delve into them a bit deeper.
