This week we looked at several examples of library wiki use. I can certainly see how they would be beneficial for public libraries, both in building communities for their users and for collaboration among staff, particularly when those staff are spread among multiple branches in a large library system. That said, as an academic librarian, I am of course most interested in the examples of wiki use that are most relevant for academic libraries. Among those, there seem to be three categories: wikis for staff, wikis for professional organizations/associations, and wikis for outreach/instruction.
In terms of professional/organizational wikis, I thought the Library Success wiki was very nice as a shared resource for professional development. I wasn’t even aware of all the ALA wikis! I’m guessing I have heard announcements about them multiple times, but I seem to have ignored them. I have added one to my RSS feeds (Tech Casting of course!) to see how often it’s updated.
I see that some libraries are doing nice things with wikis as subject guides. One thing I didn’t see many examples of were libraries using wikis for user FAQs like we are doing here with Boatipedia! Anyone aware of similar pages at other academic libraries? Maybe I should add it to the LibSuccess wiki page.
