#16 So what's in a Wiki?

Anything you want!!!
Wow! Wiki's look so cool.
It seems to me like that game, "Chinese Whispers", or a grade 5 group writing exercise where everyone adds a paragraph. You can start off with something and end up with something totally different. The lack of control you can have is frightening but exciting too.
Maybe the answer to "What's in a Wiki?" is ....anything you want...PLUS anything someone else wants to add.
In a library a Wiki could be used for Book Reviews, coming attractions, community information, introducing new staff members and voluteers, discussion forums, instructional information ie. how to use the catalogue, FAQs.
Lots of applications!!!
The only limit is your imagination.
