Week 9 Wikis Thing #16

# 16   I love Wikis too!

I found a great wiki and passed it on to our Children’s librarian today,  seriesbinder.lishost.org

It was listed with the Examples of Wikis used for collaboration between librarians and patrons.

Webster Public Library Children’s  staff created it to help librarians, teachers, parents, and kids find the chronology and publication order of series books for children ranging from toddlers to teens.

Our children’s librarian only had print info that was not often updated  so she was happy to have this new tool.

I watched the Wikis in Plain English video and browsed many wikis.  Library Success: A best practices wiki has great ideas and lots of info.

Also enjoyed Book Lovers Wiki. 

  • I tried Fixpert – The Automotive Repair Wiki but it wasn’t working!
  • Wikis are easy to use and you can either invite anyone to contribute or have a closed model where a select group are invited.

    We could use this in our library to set up meeting agendas and also to create policy and procedures. This is a great collaboration tool and standards can be set for contributors.
