Wikis

Three free sites were listed at the end of the "Wikis in Plain English". I checked out all three and found that signing up is no problem and may be easier to manage than some of the other places we have been during this challenge. I find I like wikis, a surprise to me. The library staff and board are not all computer savvy but this may be an easy way to get them interested. Computers seem to intimidate people, probably because of there being soooooo may things to do and ways to do them. A wiki seems to be a better idea for a library site than a blog and I was impressed with blogs. I think using a wiki for a beginning web site may be more advantageous to a small library to begin with. It can grow with every ones help not just one computer savvy person. For our library, showing is easier than explaining. A wiki may have to be created before the next board meeting. Now to find the time.
