By collaboratively writing the repository instruction manual

By collaboratively writing the repository instruction manual, the group shared the burden of crafting a comprehensive manual and saved time, building something usable within weeks. Like all wikis, it is a work in progress. Willis had fixed a few typos right before a Federal Computer Week reporter called.

Tpotential to be dangerous. A group of individuals following an aggregated vision is exciting. Groups, organizations, and institutions need always keep the individual in mind. Failure to do so, weakens the whole structure (this is particularly true of knowledge management initiatives).

"Talking to yourself may well be the first sign of madness,

"Talking to yourself may well be the first sign of madness, but what about writing to yourself? At first sight, it seems peculiar to imagine a single author making good use of a wiki. Wikis are collaborative environments, after all - or they're fast flexible multi-user web development platforms. What can one person do with a wiki? Or, rephrased, what on earth is the good of wiki software for a handheld or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)? They can map concepts; wikis are extremely useful for brainstorming. Exploring a topic by means of a wikiweb is a curiously comfortable feeling, and often very rewarding. Authoring a wiki on a given topic produces a linked network of web pages roughly analogous to a concept map, a visual technique for representing knowledge and information"

If Wikipedia has some value as a journalist's resource, what about the wikis themselves? Within news organizations, a password-protected wiki might be valuable for editors and reporters as a workspace for their story in progress. At the least, an internal wiki might help as a small repository of shared knowledge. Your story budget could be a wiki. Your staff covering sports might start a wiki of all their sources, and how good they are.

Library--Amazon teems with readers' separate comments

Library--Amazon teems with readers' separate comments on individual books--in the book review format. But what if the results were combined into one master set of reading notes geared to page numbers or places within e-books, via wikis? Should public librarians themselves be starting wikis and helping public schools do the same? Could ordinary library patrons participate in wikis? Could wikis be the new reading clubs--especially if combined at times with audio chats under which the editor-writers reached an consensus? And might there even be advantages to pubic librarians teaming up with academic librarians on wikis? In LISNews and in the context of tonight's forthcoming discussion of My Antonia, I offer a few musings. Not so coincidentally, Tom Peters, the moderator of the discussion, is himself a big advocate of reader annotations.

Wiki Library--At last, at Library Stuff, I've heard a good use for a Wiki on a library site. Pathfinders, or finding aids could benefit from corrections, annotations and additions from the public. This makes sense. Local experts or fans of a topic could very well have useful knowledge and the desire to share that information. Users might discover broken links or newer editions and wish to save others from the pain they experienced. Until now I thought Wikis only had a place in the back office. They make perfect sense for new employee orientation material. As employees are hired they can add materials that would have helped them understand things better. In the cataloging department a Wiki is a good tool to record local cataloging decisions. Not being a reference librarian, I had not thought they could be used for the pathfinders, another valid use.

Library Wiki--In the library-world, you would think that everything is well documented and archived. Is that the case in your own building? It was not the case in the public library where I worked and less of an issue at the law firm because there were only 3 of us (the lower the number the workers, the better chance of everyone knowing what is going on). Tim is right in that wikis can help in that everyone can contribute, there is a "paper" trail, and everyone can read what is going on on a project. I've been working with a colleague on a wiki and we have one rule: No deleting until the issue is discussed F2F or via IM. Edits (using different fonts and colors) are essential to wiki-work.

1. Any class project with a reference or encylopedic format. Instructions, manuals, glossaries, and the like are all excellent wiki applications. 2. A class or group project with a bibliographic format. Students could gather websites related to a topic, then annotate, rank, and organize them. 3. A letter or statement presented on behalf of the class. These documents occur often enough in the business world, where the "on behalf" basically means that everyone involved signed off on a draft. On a wiki, such a project would offer everyone a better chance to make a contribution. 4. A handbook or textbook. Students could build a guide to correct punctuation and evaluated as a class. Thus, every student would have a stake in the project and likely benefit from the instruction it contained. Students are also familiar with "textbook" English and its avoidance of personal-sounding prose. 5. Any other project that does not require specified authorship or protected documents. Wikis are authored by communities, not individuals.

Library, Wiki--The Digital Librarian writes:

Library, Wiki--The Digital Librarian writes: "[I]t occurred to me while talking with some of my colleagues who work in our University Archives that linking together a finding aid with Wiki functionality might bring together an interesting system. Imagine if users could leave behind comments or annotations to a finding aid - providing additional information related to the materials located by the finding aid. It would open the door to sharing research experiences, allowing for collaborative research, and making it easier for future researchers to find the materials they need in a particular collection. Of course, it would also open up the possibility of allowing incorrect information to be added, but again, Wikis are amazingly good at allowing community correction of incorrect or inappropriate information." I actually got the chills after reading that paragraph. This is a perfect implementation of wikis into the library environment. Here's another one: How about a wiki for FARQs (Frequently Asked Reference Questions)?

Library, Wiki--Jenny sent along this really neat tool

Library, Wiki--Jenny sent along this really neat tool called Wikalong (it's an extension for Firefox). Basically, it is a sidebar wiki for any web page. Just like any wiki, users can comment freely about anything related to the page. For example, here is a screenshot for the main Microsoft domain. So, whenever someone goes to any page with the sidebar open, he will see comments left by other users. Very impressive. Here is a short list of uses in libraries: 1) Patrons commenting on books in the library catalog 2) Community commenting on new library initiatives (Bonds, etc) 3) Librarians commenting on professional pages located on an Intranet. 4) Librarians commenting on professional journal articles. There are probably a lot more. I just can't think of them right now. Oh, did I mention that there in an RSS Feed for changes to pages. Unfortunately, they are not specific for each page (probably would be hard to do), but there is a feed nonetheless. Very impressive and definitely will be mentioned in future articles and presentations on collaboration and group work in the library field.

Library, Wiki--In fact, consider another wrinkle. Librarians possibly could originate book-oriented wikis and let patrons--either everyone or those with a demonstrated interest in the books--work with them on improvements. A new kind of book club? Perhaps combined with audio chatcasts for the writer-editors and the public at large? Here's to the gods of interactivity! And the cause of engaging patrons and strenthening their ties with libraries! Needless to say, official versions of the wikis, fact-checked and edited by librarians, perhaps even with names and qualifications listed, could exist alongside the ever-evolving ones. Hmm. Maybe librarians could work on this concept with K-12 folks and help lit classes and others create their own wikis, which in turn could be fodder for library wikis. Moreover, collaborations could exist between public and academic librarians to create extra-authoritative wikis that were accessible to ordinary patrons and included grassroots insights but took advantage of the academics' specialization.

The instructorâ€™s role shifts to that of establishing contexts or setting up problems to engage students. In a wiki, the instructor may set the stage or initiate interactions, but the medium works most effectively when students can assert meaningful autonomy over the process.

In terms of how you and your students could use wikalong, on the simplest level it can be used as a running commentary or parallel blog to whatever page you are looking at. Of course, you can embed links to point to other interesting pages. Simple note-taking or really anything else that you might use a blog, wiki or discussion board for. In addition to the panoply of possible uses, the other strength of wikalong is that you-as-the-user donâ€™t have to install anything on a server or rely on any IT support beyond having Firefox and knowing how to surf the Web.
