5.0 out of 5 stars
not a how-to manual, but gives good overall picture of wikis,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wikis: Tools for Information Work and Collaboration (Information Professional S.) (Paperback)
This book serves as a good introduction to wikis: their history, their possible uses, their unique characterstics, and how they are used in both corporated and educational environments. It gives lots of examples of both public and corporate wikis. If you are looking to set up a wiki, this can point you to helpful resources, but will not give you specific step-by-step instructions.
5.0 out of 5 stars
