Wikis

Wikis are appealing to me, not only because of their Hawiian-derived name, but because they allow for easy sharing and editing of information. I see wikis as having high practical application for library staff given their collaborative natures and organized structures. As David Rothman pointed out in his presentation, wikis allow multiple people to make contributions as opposed to blogs which tend to be operated and maintained by one or two individuals. One possible idea is a wiki for the LET Committee where members can share teaching tools and related educational links. A wiki is easily accessible by all and members could add to documents under development in their own time.
