Wikis in Action
- Library Success
- This wiki was created to be a one-stop shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians.

For example, we will focus on expert searching to support the development of systematic reviews in medicine, and searching for the grey literature

- Addy Will Know
- This is a creative use of a wiki in which a song was created for and about librarians.
"Addy Will Know" avoids the stereotypes. Serving as a musical tribute to the modern librarian, it is about a real librarian who leads a lost patron to the four books he is looking for. The names of the books are never mentioned, but as a kind of puzzle, the song itself includes call numbers that correspond to the books hinted at in the verses.

Scary Monsters: Does Social Software Have Fangs?
Google Tech Talks June 27, 2007 ABSTRACT So we're all agreed. Blogs: good; email: bad. Wikis: good; sending round attachments to a dozen people and then having to merge all the changes by hand afterwards: bad. But despite the labour-saving wonders of social software, many people - even those who otherwise pounce on every new technological innovation - prefer to stick with the old way of doing things. What's stopping them from adopting blogs and wikis as a way of getting things done? It can't be the tool, because the tools are easy. So what scary monsters are lurking in the social software closet, ready to leap out at the innocent project leader, fangs and claws to the fore? Speaker: Suw...
