Thing #15

What is a Wiki

"A wiki allows a group of people to collaboratively develop a Web site with no knowledge of HTML or other markup languages. Anyone can add to or edit pages in a wiki -- it is completely egalitarian. Anyone can create new wiki pages simply by creating a new link with the name of the page."

Content is driven by those in the wiki group. There are many uses for this tool in the library setting. Our YS team started using a wiki to keep track of Teacher Collections and working groups. The fact that it is a dynamic environment allows for flexibility.
