NSW Public Library - Week 5

I have looked at a number of different wiki's, it always astounds me at the variety of content that wiki's contain. Wiki's can be used to share information about so many different things, the advantage of the Wiki structure is that generally the content of the wiki doesn't become old or stale as people are always contributing.
The collaboration of many allows information to be provided on many levels and from many sources, creating a pool of knowledge that others can draw from and make their contribution to.

A Wiki provides a user friendly interface that makes it easy to navigate a wiki and find the information you are seeking.
Within a library I can see a wiki being useful for local history resources that you would like members of the public to be able to provide information about.
I also think that a wiki would be useful for a readers advisory within your individual library, contributions could be made by library patrons, staff and avid readers that find the wiki.

I tried to look at the PB Wiki Tour and the video was no longer available.

I ventured onto Wikipedia and made a change to the Kootingal page, adding information about the annual Pumpkin festival.
