I think I would like to have more time to explore the Library Success wiki. It look likes it has a lot of great information. The Princeton Public Library Wiki does not appear to have been updated recently.
I still have mixed feelings about wikis. I noticed on the Library Success wiki, you now have to authenticate with your email address due to the amount of vanalism on the site. I understand the beauty of a wiki is that anyone can put information on the site which makes it a great way to share information, thoughts, ideas, etc. However, not everyone is the expert they think they are and maybe should not be posting.
There could be uses for an Alden wiki. However are we going to have information in so many different places and formats, people will become confused on wher to look? Or it will become to time consuming?
Maybe we could develop a wiki from the UC classes which the students could added to - what did they find helpful, tips they have for other students, etc. We could have a wiki for our student works - not accessible through the staff wiki - with information for them, where they could add tips for each other. I think authenication for that one would be the best.
