So many wikis, so little time

Have I mentioned yet how much I love wikis?  The ability to not only build a web presence without knowing HTML but to also allow others to edit and collaborate online completely impresses me.  I built a pbwiki last year - Recommended Sociology Websites - to be linked from my subject guide page for Sociology.  The intention was to allow students and faculty to contribute and share in the building of a helpful list.  I’ve had to hold off on implementing it due to some problems with our new website and the fact that we’ve incorporated MediaWiki into Joomla, our new CMS.  I hope to have the MediaWiki version incorporated into my current subject guide by next week. 

Other wiki projects on my radar are:

A policy for our learning commons chat reference service (internal)

An FAQ page for the same service (internal)

A wiki for our consortium’s online reference services (internal, consortium-wide)

Another librarian has started up a Reference Desk wiki (beat me to it) (internal)

Our information literacy committee is creating a wiki to share teaching materials (internal)

A suggestion has been made to build a committee’s terms of reference in a wiki (internal)

There’s my household’s grocery list wiki (personal)

These are just some of my ideas or others I’ve come across.  My favourite, of course, is the one wiki that is not internal (Recommend Sociology Websites) because of  its intention to engage the users and invite their input.  It will be interesting to see if it is used and if folks take advantage of their editing privileges.
