Working on Wiki

As part of our first assignment for Applied Technologies we have been asked to create a Wiki for our library. My library is the Fallsburg Library located in South Fallsburg, NY which is part of the Ramapo Catskill Library System (RCLS).

Main characteristics: Fallsburg Library is a public library which serves a diverse population of about 20,000 who live within the Fallsburg Central School District. The library's budget is approximately $350,000/year. It is a member of RCLS which has 51 member libraries spanning 4 counties.

Goal of Wiki: The goal of the Fallsburg Library wiki is to provide information about library hours, location, and contact information. The goal of the wiki is also to provide another area where library events can be posted and viewed.

Requirements for Wiki:

  • Must be FREE
  • Must be easy to create and update
  • Page history needs to be available
  • Should also be mobile friendly
Using wikimatrix to choose a wiki the following suggestions were given to me:
 bitweaver, CentralDesktop, GWiki, Incentive, MindTouch, Oddmuse, PAUX, Traction TeamPage and Wikispaces

Some more research needs to be done before I can choose a wiki that best fits the library's needs and requirements.
