Wiki

From Wikis In The Workplace: How Wikis Can Help Manage Knowledge In Library Reference Service, I discovered that Ward Cunningham created the Wiki in 1995. Wiki is a Hawaiian term for quick.
I read parts of the PALS wiki and appreciated the visual instructions on the Millennium Serials Manual. Librarians will like the PALS Known Issues - Resolved, Pending and Unresolved.
Librarians can also keep informed about new features to the Web Opac such as "Forgot Your Password."
I was not impressed by the Book Lovers Wiki. It didn't seem current. The St. Joseph County Public Library Wiki of Subject Guides seemed very helpful.
