Blogs & Wikis, what's the
       difference?
 An intoduction to two important
     Library 2.0 applications
What is a blog?

A blog (a fusion of web log) is a website where entries are
commonly displayed in reverse chronological order. quot;Blogquot; can
also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a
blog.
Weblogs...or just blogs (blahgs)

                         Weblogs are:
 Often described as online diaries
 Are personal
 Are chronological
 Are current; posts are usually about what has just happened
 Great forums to offer readers the ability to respond because
 there is always a link for comments.
 Usually focused on a subject.
 Disseminate and archive information. The new listserv?
 Library Revolution
Some examples of Great Blogs for Library Staff
Walking Paper is Aaron Schmidt's Blog. Aaron is the Library Director for North
Plains Public Library in Oregon. The subject is technology in libraries.

Wired Magazine This blog gives the reader a heads up on the technology. The
subject is technology & gadgets.

What I Learned Today is presented by Nicole C. Engard and
covers blogs, rss, wikis and more as they relate to libraries.

Tame the Web is presented by Michael Stephens, a librarian, technology trainer
and writer living in Northern Indiana. He covers technology and libraries.

Librarian in Black by Sara Houghton Jan covers librarianship, technology,
and webmastery. Sara describes herself as 100% goth on the inside and most of
the time wears black on the outside.
An example of a bad blog

SuffolkSlo


This did not work as a blog because it turned into a
collaborative effort. The result? SuffolkSlo became a wiki.
Blogging software choices

Blogging software falls into two basic categories, hosted and
non-hosted:

Hosted blogging software is the simplest as the software resides
on the blog hosting software provider. You access the blogging
software over the Internet. Popular hosted choices include the
free Blogger.com and WordPress.com, and inexpensive
Typepad.com and Radio UserLand. Hosted solutions tend to be
less flexible than non-hosted solutions.
Blogging Software Choices (con't)

Nonhosted blogging software is software you download and
install on a Web server. Popular nonhosted blogging software
include free WordPress.org, Expression Engine which has free
and paid versions, and Movable Type. It is more complicated as
you need to install and set it up, but it tends to be much more
flexible.

What is a wiki?

 A wiki is software that allows users to
 create, edit, and link web pages easily.
      Wikis are often used to create
   collaborative websites and to power
          community websites.
From Wikipedia
Wikis, what's it all about

from brainstorming

  Sharing ideas with ease

intimidating to share           Cramped & Bored?
                                Sharing equally?
Pros & Cons

PROS                           CONS
   Trust                         Trust, you give up alot of
   Not static                    control.

Vandalism is a problem.
See Wikipedia's Most Vandalized Pages


Spam as vandalism

-If spam and/or vandalism occur
too often steps may be taken
to curb this before the fact.
The Solution

   Monitor
-Since wikis are collaborative,
the entire community can
monitor and correct bad
behavior (and spelling).

   Passwords
   Wikis can remain private.
   Wikis can live behind the firewall
   Host blocking
Choosing Wiki Software

A great place to start is WikiMatrix

WikiMatrix guides you through the process of selecting
software based on your needs and preferences.
