Thing 13 - Wikis

I see a place for Wikis throughout our library environment. A wiki for T/R and IM service to include available online reference sources will be quick and easy to use; a wiki for subject areas - business and genealogy come to mind.

The Business Wiki at Ohio U. http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/bizwiki/index.php/Main_Page I think is a good example of a more creative wiki since it is less wordy than many of the others I viewed. Much easier on the viewer's eyes.

But, perhaps wiki will have some competition: google KNOLS:
