Wikipedia is known as open-source encyclopedia, an attempt to gather detailed information about a variety of subjects.
Wiki is a quick-to-build, easy-to-edit website on which all information can be edited, changed, or rewritten by the users or members of the site. It is a useful tool for writing, pooling knowledge or exchanging ideas, especially on a subject that changes or needs updating frequently.The word wiki is a 'hawaaiian' phrase commonly use to indicate something fast.The best thing about wiki is that anyone can make changes and it is flexible and extensible.
wiki was created to be a one-stop shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians, as all over the world librarians are developing successful programs and doing innovative things with technology that no one outside of their library knows about. There are lots of great blogs out there sharing information about the profession.
If you've done something at your library that you consider a success, you can write about it in the wiki or provide a link to outside coverage or if you have materials that would be helpful to other librarians, you can add them to the wiki and if you know of a librarian or a library that is doing something great, you are free to include information or links to it. Basically, if you know of anything that might be useful to other librarians (including useful websites), wiki is the place to put it. Wiki can be a venue where people can share .I had a browse at number of library wikis,i liked Programs for Kids & Teens
