thing 12) wikis

i tried using a wiki years ago, when i first heard about them in library school. the idea is great, but again, i think that planning and organizing before launching the wiki is important. i also know that others at work have had difficulties with wikis.

i can see how these can be valuable in my personal life and at work. my family is working on its genealogy, and a wiki would serve well for the family tree and other information discovered by family across the globe. at work, we could edit policy or procedures on a wiki. i think this would have helped me most in library school, when multiple drafts were edited by many hands and passed back and forth through email.

i just posted to the NEFLIN wiki. i added a fact about joining the New Librarians Online Community wiki. i've found it very helpful and seems well thought out.
