Thing 16 Wikis

I already knew quite a bit about Wikis from some of the training I've been doing and also from using Wikipedia. I think wikis are an interesting way to communicate and to share information that can be edited by all users. I think it is probably safer to use in a setting such as a library as the users will have a common interest in keeping the information whereas sites such as Wikipedia which are able to be edited by anyone don't have that safeguard. I think there are lots of areas in which we as an organisation could use Wikis to share information such as: library news, road test index, frequently asked questions, meetings, staff lists, building announcements, what's on, subject resource lists.
