[...] 1. Wikis are definitely HOT this year, and not just with me! My wiki talk was packed and two other talks involved a discussion of wikis during the conference (including the double-shot of Wikis in Action). I spent around 30 minutes answering questions after my wiki talk from people who wanted to use wikis in schools, public libraries, academic libraries, and for organizations. I, myself had a revelation during Chad’s talk that wikis could be used especially for findability (particularly with software like MediaWiki) as opposed to being used for collaboration. The possibilities for what we can do with wikis are endless! It’s nice to see that I’m not the only one who sees their potential anymore. [...]

[...] Most libraries have research guides or pathfinders. As they grow, they start becoming completely unmanageable. Chad created a wiki that he uses to describe business resources and make them well-organized and searchable. A lot of the information described here was described in his session on Wikis, so I’m going to leave it out. Chad did a tremendous job and really inspired me to consider how we can use Wikis instructionally at Norwich. [...]
