Wiki Webcast: You’re Invited!
By Meredith Farkas | July 7, 2006
What: Wiki: The Ultimate Tool For Online Collaboration
When: Thursday July 13, 11 am Eastern, 8 am Pacific.
Where: Online! Via the SirsiDynix Institute.
Who: Me!
Why: Because you want to learn more about wikis and how they can be used in libraries.
Wiki is a social software tool that allows for unprecedented online collaboration. It enables a group of people to collaboratively develop a Web site with no knowledge of HTML or other markup languages. Any member of the wiki community can add to or edit anyone else’s content, which is what makes Wikis so revolutionary and so controversial.
Wiki can be an excellent tool for certain projects and purposes, but it may not be the best choice for every population. Libraries are already using Wikis as subject guides, knowledge repositories, Intranets, and content management systems. They can also be used by librarians to share information and success stories online. A wiki is a good candidate for any project that requires quick and easy online collaboration.
This presentation will help you learn:
- what a wiki is
- how wikis have been (and can be) implemented in libraries
- whether or not a wiki is the right tool for your library
- how to implement a wiki in your library

Registered and looking forward to it! It’s great that the SirsiDynix events are archived too though. I hope more conferences start to move in that direction as well . . .

I’ve been trying to register for this workshop but I keep getting the message that my computer won’t accept cookies. I’ve tried on my work computer, home computer, I’ve reset the the computers to accept everything and I still keep getting the message about not accepting cookies. Obviously, other people have been able to register. Do you have any suggestions? I’d really like to attend this Webcast. Thanks.

I honestly have no idea, Dodie, sorry! I’d contact Crystal Ashton at the SirsiDynix Institute (crystal.ashton at sirsidynix.com)… she would probably know how to help you or could at least get you registered.

The first time I heard the word wiki was yesterday morning. By the end of the meeting today I felt confident enought to discuss wikis with my co-workers! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and I loved the meeting format. (Also a first for me.) I can’t wait to get started!
