week 5: wikis

I have completed the wiki component of my training. The thing I found most interesting about wikis was the flexibility and ease of use that wikis can offer compared to blogs. wikis can be changed at any time without too much difficulty and can be accessed by a big range of people whereas with a blog once you publish something it isn't as easy to change and only one person can pretty much access it.
Wikis can be used by a library for community activities such as Local History groups or Family History researchers who want to post historical documents on the internet so that people can see them and make commments or identify what it is.
