Wikis

I believe wikis have some advantages that other forms of website do not. Perhaps the most important are that a wiki can be edited from any computer with Internet access and can easily be edited by more than one person. Another advantage, in my opinion is that the layout for many wikis is clean and crisp, i.e., an easy to read type face and not much color, which can at times be distracting.

Regarding the wikis mentioned on the Joliet Library discovers blog, I will only comment on two of them. On the Library Success blog, I noticed that there little or no material under many of the headings in the section on Management and Leadership. The material on the Bull Run wiki appears to me, especially since it appears to be edited by one person, to be more suitable for a blog.
