Chapter 12: In which the Pirates browse some Wikis!

To be honest, I read through all the Wiki stuff posted, and then when we got to the Exercise section, I blanked. I couldn't think of anything to say! Yes I can see how wikis would be great for libraries, both staff and patrons alike, but I couldn't put my finger on exactly why!

To be honest, its in part because I keep thinking of WoW Wiki, a Wiki for World of Warcraft and how useful it is, and struggle translating its application to libraries. A Wiki that describes dungeon strategies, quest and item details, and more about a fictional world? What an awesome idea! But a Wiki for your local library? Ummm... good idea?

So. I'm going to cheat. For today's exercise, I refer you to a KCLS Blogger who really hit the nail on the head:

The Amazing Knitting Kitty

If you're like me, and you needed convincing as to why Wikis would benefit library systems, read her post!
