24 Things- Week 3 Wikis

From the links on the KCPL 24 things blog I found a couple of interesting wiki’s.

The Loudoun County Public Library in Virginia created a community wiki. This seems like an idea way share your local knowledge with area residents and visitors.

The Children's Series Binder wiki at is designed to help sort though the huge world of children’s fiction. A wiki provide the prefect format for this kind of information exchange. If a children’s author or series all of sudden becomes the new must read a wiki can be updated with the pertinent information in matter moments. At the same time it archives and makes readily accessible frequently asked questions. For example this wiki provides a list the of American Girls and the titles of their books and short stories.

In my personal life, I often refer to wiki when I’m playing video games. Video game wiki’s are much more likely to document software glitches than a game’s official website. Two excellent and well maintained video game wiki’s are Fallout series and Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages.
