Date: 7/21/2009 Start Time: 10:00 AM End Time: 12:00 PM Description: WIKIS HAVE COME A LONG WAY! They're easier to use than they were just a short time ago, and put the power of collaboration in your hands! Librarians are constantly hearing that they need to collaborate, connect and contribute with others in their community and the profession. This workshop introduces the concept of a wiki and illustrates how to set one up in your library. The workshop looks at various wiki types, including their advantages and disadvantages, showing examples of their use in libraries. Learning from the variety of creative, productive, and effective wiki examples, attendees will set up their own wiki so that they can learn firsthand how easy it is to set up and use a wiki to collaborate with their colleagues, connect to other professionals and community members and contribute to the collective knowledge online. Nicole C. Engard is the Open Source Evangelist at LibLime. In her position, she directs the company’s open source education endeavors.
