Are library school students ready for the Wiki? Earlier this week I installed a test wiki for the ALASC officers to try out and we received the okay to install it on the school’s servers. There was definitely a push from a small group of students to try it out. I definitely think that it has the possibility for fostering a strong social network and an evolving archive of ALASC and the SJSU SLIS experience.
Most students are already on content creation overload and expecting students to add regularly might be a little much. They hardly comment or update the blog and who can blame them. It is definitely an easy way to give folks an easy way to make and publish web pages. With the right amount of marketing and selling we might get it going. That’s the goal.
