8. Learn about wikis and discover some innovative ways that libraries are using them.

In this lesson of the "29 things" I had the opportunity to learn more about wikis like wikipedia. I have known about wikis previous to this, but it was interesting to learn more.
In the objective, the teaching states:

"Some of the benefits that make wikis so attractive are:

• Anyone (registered or unregistered, if unrestricted) can add, edit or delete content.
  
• Tracking tools within wikis allow you to easily keep up on what been changed and by whom.
  
• Earlier versions of a page can be viewed and reinstated when needed.
  
• And users do not need to know HTML in order to apply styles to text or add and edit content. In most cases simple syntax structure is used."

In the Discovery exercise I got the opportunity to look at other wikis from libraries such as The Bull Run Library wiki

It was interesting to see the other wikis available.
