  • It's Time to Use a Wiki as Part of Your Web Site Ribaric, Tim Integrity Libraries Web Sites Electronic Libraries Search Engines Information Technology Without a doubt, the term "wiki" has leaked into almost every discussion concerning Web 2.0. The real question becomes: Is there a place for a wiki on every library Web site? The answer should be an emphatic "yes." People often praise the wiki because it offers simple page creation and provides instant gratification for amateur Web developers. They often hem and haw about the "anyone can edit" aspects that tag along. The truth is that everyone can get all the benefits of a wiki without the dubious anonymous edits that could alter hard-earned content. By making some clever changes, the author has managed to replace a portion of his library's Web site with a wiki engine. By choosing to suppress some bult-in functionality of the wiki, the author got a great mashup solution that keeps his library current and protects the authorative integrity of their content.
