| Summary |
This book was "written for people who want to find out about wikis and their potential ; for readers who want to know more about wikis as social information spaces and information resources, and wikis in library and information science, business and education ; for people who do not necessarily have a technical background but want to create a wiki ; and for those who are planning or trying to manage a wiki. While this is not a technical book, readers with a technical background should find it technically accurate and, we hope, interesting. For readers, new and old to wikis, we hope this book expands your understanding of what it means to collaborate and how wikis can be used to support collaboration and provide information." -- page xv |
