Thing 16

I think the wiki is a fantastic tool for sharing knowledge. We all know about wikipedia... and let's face it, we all use it. I have lately been using the Greenstone wiki. Greenstone is the name of an open source software we are considering adapting for library use - the wiki works like a manual where I can get answers to my questions, but also benefit from the practical experience of other users around the world (which you don't get from a manual). There is another really interesting example of a wiki application for libraries at Horowhenua library. Here people in the Horowhenua community (and beyond) are uploading their own content to build an amazing local history/community resource.
