[Web4lib] Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki

[Blake Carver]

1-2-3-4 I declare a Wiki War!

Personally I prefer liswiki.com because it's wide open and can cover just
about anything dealing with LIS things. LISWiki can cover best practices,
and much more. The Library Success is focused, which is a good thing as
well. There's nothing wrong with either approach, though I find the more
general nature of LISWiki more useful. Generally I think wikis do better
if they're more general.

So I say every librarian with a good idea (and some free time) can
contributing to both! That's the good thing about wikis.

David:
> Shouldn't every librarian with a good idea also be contributing to the

> they're both using the same software that powers Wikipedia.
