In lieu of last weeks dicussion, suing wikis with onlinegraduat courses, I thought this would be a good follow up. Especially when you consider the field that most of us are planning on venturing forth in! The article is entitled "The Wiki & the Digital Libray" by Jeremy Frumkin. In order to access it you need to go to the Sryacuse University Library website. From there go to data base articels and then click on Library & Information Science. Go to the Emerald database and click on it. From there type in title of the article in the search box and click. It should be the first title in the list and just click on that. Here's the link just in case you can click on this and get right to it. http://www.emeraldinsight.com.libezproxy2.syr.edu/Insight/ViewContentServlet?Filename=/published/emeraldfulltextarticle/pdf/1640210104.pdf

Hi Cynthia,
I had no problems with the link! I like the concept of being able to modify the finding aids for resources. I think it adds an aspect of the folsomnomy phenomenon that we looked at several weeks ago. (Has it been that long already?)
The example of Oregon State University's libraries was interesting. Assumably, there are several libraries and they would all share the same RDM/wiki so that there is a consistency between them which amounts to greater efficieny.
I wonder if public libraires in a county, region or state have or could have the same kind of ties Do they share a referencing system? or does each library remain as an independant entity due to financial reasons? (Not trying to be a smart a**! Being from up North, I really don't know)
Cynthia,
This link was in my blogline today. I am not a fan of Stephen Colbert, but thought you might be interested in the wiki aspect: My Favorite New Wiki
