The open style of a wiki can be useful for group projects, while a blog may aid in
brainstorming or generating discussion. The main difference between a wiki and
a blog becomes the layout and organization of information. A wiki becomes a continually modifiable easy-access web page, while a blog’s journalistic style
catalog and dates content so readers can see the interchange of ideas related to
the blog topic in question. A blog is personal, less collaborative, a posting is
owned by the poster and text is considered to be static. A wiki is open to
collaboration and is considered public space. The aim of a wiki is to create documents
(individual pages as well as the entire wiki/web) and tends towards expressing
ideas as relationships between pages.
In my institution, a wiki could be used for internal communication between the
Library and the different departments that it serves. The wiki could also function
as a repository of the different documents that are used to educate the staff on how to best utilize the many resources available to them in the Library.
I am most interested in the use of the blog as a means of obtaining information,comments, and communication on the topic of gardening native plants in the Midwest
