Week 7 - Thing 16 - Wikis

What is a wiki?
According to wikipedia, a wiki is: "A collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it."
A wiki is a community-building, social and interactive tool.
As a person interested in languages, I was pleased to find out that "wiki" means quick in Hawaiian.

At CCPL we have been using wikis to share information among teams and committees.
Other library applications could be: Reader's advisory, Book clubs, Patron feedback about books or databases, to support a specific event, or develop a community project.
