Week 7 - Wiki

I learned that Wiki are sites with information about a particular topic which are open to editing
or additions by anyone. At first I thought what good would that be, you wouldn't know if the information was correct, but once I visited the links provided I see that it is more than just an
encyclopedia.

The booklovers site was full of lists of books in all different categories. You could browse by title, author or genre. I like the most requested guide. It had books I had read and a long list of books I haven't read; many that piped my interest.

The library wiki's we were linked to were very interesting also. I particularly liked the Bull Run Library with it's first page filled with scheduled events and the latest library news.

I can now see how this would be very beneficial to a group or business. With the web being so large and vast quantities of information needing to be posted, this opens the "job" of maintaining a web site over to many people and not just a few. Updating events, agendas, travel information, etc. would become an extremely valuable tool for business.

Now to find a Wiki I can't live without.
