Learning 2.0--Gettin Wiki With It

In this week's lesson, we were asked to explore some wikis to see how they are being used in libraryland. My favorite is the Libsuccess Wiki. I have found this to be such a useful tool as a librarian, especially in the early stages of implementing an instant messaging program here at EKU. I consulted this repeatedly during those months before we started our IM service in order to get names, to see examples of other schools' websites, and to look for ways that other libraries were promoting their IM service. Having the libsuccess wiki was one of the most valuable resources for me as I prepared my info for our IM workgroup. It has many more components that make it a rich resource for librarians, including links to websites that provide marketing ideas and success stories, suggested resources for online training, ideas for management and leadership, and, as I mentioned before, a huge section for information on online reference. If you haven't already been there, you should definitely check out the Libsuccess Wiki.
