Wikis

I thought the business librarian at Ohio State University had a pretty good wiki. How do you
find out if he allows people to add to it or change it?
A good use of a wiki for a library would be a place for librarians to put their favorite web sites
on various topics such as country information, investing, whatever.

The first thing is to see if there is an 'edit' button or link on the page somewhere. If you see this, click on it and you'll quickly find out if contributions are wide open or limited to specific individuals (ie other staff members at his library).

Thanks for the information on whether Wikis are open for contributions or limited.

I have had to back track to lesson
14 because the LibraryThing site was down when I tried it a few days ago. It is fun to add books that you have read and intend to read.
