"A wiki is a collaborative website and authoring tool that allows users to easily add, remove and edit content."
Wikipedia is the largest online open-community encyclopedia. It is also the most well known.
Benefits:
"Anyone (registered or unregistered, if unrestricted) can add, edit or delete content.
Tracking tools within wikis allow you to easily keep up on what been changed and by whom.
Earlier versions of a page can be rolled back and viewed when needed.
Users do not need to know HTML in order to apply styles to text or add and edit content. In most cases simple syntax structure is used."
I looked at SJCPL Subject Guides - pathfinder wiki - St. Joseph County Public Library system.

On the pathfinder, they are very explicit on how, to, what, where. Very useful information for the beginner.

Library Success: A best practices wiki http://libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
A wiki is a quick-to-build, easy-to-edit website on which all information can be edited, changed, or rewritten by the users or members of the site. It can be used for collaboration, projects, exchanging ideas, and pooling knowledge. The word comes from the Hawaiian phrase "wiki-wiki", which means to do something fast. WikiWikiWeb was the first wiki developed by software developers for sharing trends in the business. It is still maintained.
Wikipedia is an "open-source" encyclopedia, where anyone can add, or edit information on a variety of subjects. Wikipedia should not be used as cited source, only a starting place.

#17 entry to the Learning 2.0 SandBox wiki
SandBox is a term used to describe a part of a website that is used for play.

I found PacManv2.6 Popout and play. Yes, it is really PacMan. The problem is I don't know what keys operate what. Could be fun to play around with.

Wikis
1. I read California 2.0 Curriculum Connections: The beauty of a wiki is the collaboration towards a common goal. There were many ideas--56 of them. From there, I read the article by Joyce Valenzia.
Valenza, Joyce (2007). "Ten reasons why your next pathfinder should be a wiki." Joyce Valenza's neverending search blog. 06 June 2007. School Library Journal Online. 17 Jul 2007 http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1340000334/post/1620010962.html
2. I'm thinking of adding a wiki to the homepage of our OPAC for research projects.
I serve on Joyce's 2.0 Task Force through AASL, and I have been able to contribute only a small portion, because this is all new. I am finally feeling better about my ability to perform and participate in the 2.0 Web world. Thanks CSLA

3. I visited CSLA 2 Team and Friends wiki - csla2007wiki
It was fun to see most of the participants from the summer 2007 fun represented in Avatar format.

Did you know that the PB wiki that we set up for School Library Learning 2.0 is "last year's model" and that the folks at PB wiki recently introduced PB wiki 2.0 with lots of cool features and templates especially for educators and librarians? The folks at Peanut Butter Wiki are real nice, too!
