The 4 examples of wiki’s presented in the exercise were helpful in the sense that they represented different approaches to the style of a wiki. Each example provided a framework for two way communication. I found that the wiki’s about library usage of this tool were very interesting for 2 reasons:
1) – My department is using a wiki to communicate important matters that allow us to monitor and improve our service to the library patrons. We learned about the flexibility presented by this communication tool during the Staff Development Day in October.
2) – My daughter is an elementary school teacher in the Prince William school district in Virginia. I sent an email with the URL for the Bull Run Library wiki because my daughter and her classes will be able to review the wiki and, possibly, use the site. The library is near the school.
