Wikis
Learnt about Wikis that allows people to collaboratively develop a website with no knowledge of HTML or any markup language and the new ways that libraries are using them. I was intrigued by the word ' Wiki ! ' until I saw the the presentation 'Wikis: A Beginner's Look" which mentioned that 'Wiki means quick' in Hawaiian and explained its features.
Saw the presentation on "What is a Wiki" and "Using Wikis to create online communities" and an excerpt on "Wiki, Wiki, Wiki" from PLCMC.
Saw the website on "Wikipedia". Among other articles, the featureed article on "Rail transport in India" was a very informative item. Wikipedia is like a continuously updated World Encyclopedia covering a vast variety of subjects and categories. It was interesting exploring different subjects and knowledge. The Technology portal was another source of information on new technologies.
Also saw the website on MERLIN (Maryland's essential resource for library information system.
