If you haven’t worked with colleagues on a wiki yet, you would be surprised at how easy and powerful a tool it is. At CLiC we experimented with lots of the “freebies” including Writely (now bought by Google and no longer free.) There are still lots of free wikis available and one of the most touted ones is PB Wiki, which you can find at http://pbwiki.com/. It describes itself as: “A PBWiki is an easy-to-use webpage that multiple people can edit. It’s as easy to make as a peanut butter sandwich!”
ALA has launched the Read Write Connect wiki as a one-stop-shop for all things 2.0 from ALA, divisions, roundtables, and offices. On the wiki you’ll find links to various ALA sponsored blogs, wikis, Flickr accounts, MySpace and FaceBook pages, and more.
Check it out at: http://wikis.ala.org/readwriteconnect
If all this is as clear as mud, come to one of the CLiC workshops and attend one of the techie sessions. Remember, there are scholarships available for all the workshops on the CLiC website: www.clicweb.org
