Chorus- I've always known about wikis in only one way before, through Wikipedia, which I have come across ages ago to find information on a favourite artist, then I found they even had entries on individual guitar effects, like the Big Muff Pie or the Electric Mistress Flanger, and I was sold. Any site that has so many varied entries that it went into this level of depth was alright by me.
Reverb- Now thanks to this 'Learning 2.0' course I have started to understand the breadth of the whole 'wiki' scene, it's quite hard to take it all in.
Distortion- The first site for libraries I visited was "Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki", and the concept, as shown in that excellently explained intro video, had me excited for the instant gratification I would get as all the hard work of finding other libraries 'tips' and 'success stories' would be mine at the click of a button. I went to Services for Specific groups, then clicked on Services For the Disabled , AND ...no-one as yet has entered in to share any Success stories or Tips for providing quality services!! Oh well, just goes to show that wikis only work if the people with the knowledge know they exist and contribute to them.
Although I must admit, I can't see a time in the foreseeable future when i will have the time to contribute to a wiki!!
Reverb- The Antioch Uni Wiki for staff procedure manuals was very interesting to me as our library is about to launch into collating all ours, and I'll suggest at a meeting that we could collate them on our intranet like that.
I looked at those wikis listed and the book lovers wiki I think would be the easiest to impliment here. The wooki one made me think of looking up for a guitar effects one, and I got onto one, called guitarwiki.com.
