The applications of wikis in library and information services, education and business are explored, with examples. Provides an overview of wikis, in the context of the increasing use of ‘social software’ and the trend towards a more interactive World Wide Web. The different kinds of wikis are identified and described. The advantages and problems associated with using wikis in information work and collaboration are discussed. One of the problems is simply that of finding wikis that deal with a particular topic or activity, and this is addressed through a discussion of directories, search engines and other finding tools. Later chapters cover the options for creating wikis and the management of a wiki. The book concludes with lists of resources related to wikis.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eWikis, from social software to social information space\u003cbr\u003e Wikis as information sources\u003cbr\u003e Wiki finding tools and techniques\u003cbr\u003e Wikis in library and information science\u003cbr\u003e Wikis in business\u003cbr\u003e Wikis in education\u003cbr\u003e Creating a wiki – the technology options\u003cbr\u003e Managing a wiki\u003cbr\u003e Managing a wiki.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Library \u0026amp; information sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Library \u0026amp; information sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Library%20\u0026amp;%20information%20sciences%20%5BGL%5D%22\"\u003eGL\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Chandos Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651739996440,"sku":"9781843341789","price":40.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781843341789.jpg?v=1696411713","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/wikis-tools-for-information-work-and-collaboration-paperback-9781843341789","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
