Learning resources are not just in our buildings

Can be a human filter

Blogs and wikis Kathryn Greenhill http://librariansmatter.com

Similarities

Both are easy ways to make a website

Both can have many authors

Both include comments

Both include embedded media

Differences

Wikis are usually a “work in progress”

Wikis are usually re-arranged as they grow to suit the subject schema

A wiki page *usually* purports to be up to date information

Often your content can/will be edited by others
