WIKIS

I'm not as familiar with WIKI's as I am with Delicious and RSS.

I can see an application for a WIKI though. Two other librarians from other facilities
in other states and I have been planning a poster for the MLA poster sessions in Honolulu. We have spent months having weekly conference calls and emailing our suggestions back and forth. We have each offered corrections to the work of others to make the submission a better quality product.

Messages from the two other participants have been misplaced in my voluminous emal inbox from time to time. Improving on the documents sent out becomes interesting at best after we have made numerous suggestions and changes. It's hard to track all the generation of changes. But a WIKI looks like it would improve that process.

And we have a bibliography we have created as a handout at the poster session. On a WIKI each of us could have edited and added to the bibliography without one person having to do all of the compilation of the bibliography
