Week 7: Wikis

This week we got to experience the Wonderful World of Wikis. Of the past several web 2.0 applications, I think this one may be the most useful to the VHS. The idea of every staff member who participates having the ability to create and edit pages relating to VHS policies, activities, schedules, etc., is a great one and could prove helpful. I noticed the Saturday library schedule for example. That is always a fluid thing and being able to check the up-to-the-minute changes is an excellent tool. With a little help from our fearless leader, I was able to create a page listing the VHS's annual William Rachal award winners. Now I can go into the page next year and simply update the list. Very easy-to-use interface. I see great potential for the VHS wiki. Until next week . . .
