What to say about Wikis.... I found this session REALLY interesting, and I didn't think I would. I had a discussion recently with a university librarian friend who said that their library was putting EVERYTHING online so that it wouldn't disadvantage distance education (DE) students. Her feeling was that putting everything online was in fact disadvantaging the on campus students who weren't using all the library facilities and clarifying/chatting/communication with the library staff in real time.
Anyway, I was thinking along those same lines that perhaps everything being online wouldn't be a good idea in some circumstances.
I then spent this evening discovering more about wikis. I still have some trepidation about adding content to wikis but the YouTube video (about camping) eas an excellent example, and I also found a lot of value fom the libsuccess (http://libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page) page - which I have added to my del.icio.us page....
I can see how we could use this at CCLC - the Staff Event on Sept 12, Book chats (sharing book reviews so you don't have to reinvent the wheel), processes for gaming consoles etc,etc. Instead of a staff intranet, I feel this would be a (perhaps) better way to go.
I'd appreciate hearing from others on this one.....

Good thoughts on this one. We have considered using a wiki for our intranet, but that's as far as that process has gone.
This is an interesting topic and one that caught my attention when we first-round 2.0ers got to it. I said at that stage "I think we could ease the burden from the shoulders of our Web Gurus and get something happening to benefit us all. The Intranet seems to be still on the drawing board; Chit Chat has faded into the misty moonlight; and Ho Ho Ho, Christmas festivity planning is already underway. Food for thought? What say you, fellow WikiWunderkind?"
I hope you get lots of comments Ms MexStorm so we can ALL see how the others think :) Check out LS2.0's blog for another great use!
