Library Voice » Using a wiki as a research guide: a year’s experience

I have been very pleased with my experience of using a wiki as a research guide, and I can tell you that I have no intentios of returning to my old traditional html guides. Only time will tell how the Biz Wiki will be used in the future. I will continue to add and edit content on an on-going basis, while weeding pages that are no longer relevant or out of date. It is my hope that the wiki will continue to be a viable and useful resource to business researchers at my institution and beyond. And if the day should come when the Biz Wiki is no longer useful, I only hope that another hair-brained idea will come along.

I really wanted to use a Wiki for the research guides at my library. Not only for Chad’s reasons but because they would make it easier for the various authors to edit them. Unfortunately, our IT department doesn’t allow PHP & MySQL. *sigh*
