Librarians can contribute to LISWiki or to Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki.
Meredith Farkas, who blogs at Information Wants to be Free, started Library Success to collect and organize information about successful programs and problem resolution:
This wiki was created to be a one-stop-shop for great ideas for librarians. All over the country, librarians are developing successful programs and doing innovative things with technology that no one outside of their library knows about.
LisWiki was started on June 30, 2005 by John Hubbard to
to give the library community a chance to explore the usefulness of Wikis. It is not intended to replace or detract from the Wikipedia Library and information science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_science) articles (or those in the printed LIS encyclopedias for that matter), but exist as a niche encyclopedia covering library-related issues.
John Hubbard says this is not a war. There is room for both as they have different purposes. See his clarification on the Web4Lib list July/037642.
Be sure to check out ALA Chicago 2005 on the Success Wiki.
