Wikis as information sources, as a form of publishing, and as tools
for collaboration, are discussed in this book. The applications of
wikis in library and information services, education and business
are explored, with examples. Provides an overview of wikis, in the
context of the increasing use of social software and the trend
towards a more interactive World Wide Web. The different kinds of
wikis are identified and described. The advantages and problems
associated with using wikis in information work and collaboration
are discussed. One of the problems is simply that of finding wikis
that deal with a particular topic or activity, and this is
addressed through a discussion of directories, search engines and
other finding tools. Later chapters cover the options for creating
wikis and the management of a wiki. The book concludes with lists
of resources related to wikis.
No other book currently available, addresses this highly topical
subjectWikis are becoming important sources of information on the
web yet they are little understood by librarians or the general
publicAlthough wikis can be useful sources of information, Internet
users need to know how wikis operate if they are to be able to
evaluate the information in a wiki"
