Wiki??? what's a Wiki?......... was the first thing that came to thought before exploring this weeks exercise. I had no clue what a wiki was. Fortunately, after learning what one is I found them to be extremely useful. I always believed two heads worked better than one. So when I learned a Wiki generates numerous people to work together and share knowledge amongst each other I said to myself....... right on!!! Information is always changing and knowledge is always increasing so it's hard to stay on top of it- especially if only a few individuals are responsible. When you have a large quantity of people that are willing to up-date and edit in new information on a web page it helps keep everything as currant as possible. This sharing of ones '2 sense' can benefit all the users and members, like it does in Wikipedia.
Libraries too can gain from a Wiki. For example the Book Lovers Wiki is a great idea. It encourages people to share their opinion about a certain book. It creates a sense of community amongst people who share common interests. When I think of a Wiki, I now get the picture that it's a place to go to and share your knowledge knowing that other people got your back.
