Wikis

Although I've used wikis before for various reasons, I've never done any editing on one. I must admit that I'd rather use html than the tools provided in the pbwiki site to apply styles, but that's mainly because it's easier to just keep the fingers on the keyboard. The mouse is just so far away! Okay, maybe not. :) But despite the bad press sites such as wikipedia get, wikis are tremendously useful. I've taken classes where students in group projects used closed wikis as a collaborative medium to share thoughts, ideas, and their work. In libraries, wikis can be especially useful to share information and ideas among library staff.
