What did you find interesting about the wiki concept? Anyone can add or edit. All participants is the same document...no need to catch up on e-mails to stay current.
What types of applications within libraries and schools might work well with a wiki? Additions to the catalog, community information sharing, in-house communication and policy sharing...
Many teachers/faculty "ban" Wikipedia as a source for student research. What do you think of the practice of limiting information by format? It can be a good place to start, but confirm information elsewhere.
Which wiki did you edit? 23things on a stick wiki.

Thing 9
Zoho Writer had great templates. What an easy way to share and update information on a project. Need to create tickets to an event? Just edit their example. The resume and cover letter portions my be of great help to patrons trying to create their own. Google Docs didn't seem as "flashy" but looks to be very functional. I had difficulty trying to edit documents without creating an account or having someone provide permission. I probably missed something.

Thing 8
Thing 8 was a lot of fun and with a little help from a co-worker, the cube is spinning. The Library of Congress photo archives is a real treasure. The photo cube is spinning on the side of the blog.
