I learned so much by doing this "thing." So many people, like myself, associate wiki with Wikipedia. I never knew the advantages of belonging to a wiki. I can see many uses for creating a wiki among library people. A wiki could be created within school district media personnel to make a quick stop for all library needs, such as: series websites, best books for children, lesson plans, designing a new media center etc. As more resources are found members could add them to the wiki.
This would be also be great for classwork. Instead of e-mailing work to their teachers students could post to a wiki. The teacher could make it private so only he/she could view it or the whole class could have access. Also, the teacher could post assignments, resources to use, and guidelines. This could be a real time saver.
I think the more specific topics a wiki covers the less chance of people posting negative/damaging feedback. For example, the ALA conference wiki covers all necessary topics for the conference. It listed places to go and instructions to the conference. Only people who are interested in this area were posting. All the postings appeared very helpful and positive.
I am looking forward to exploring the wide realm of wiki.
