Ten reasons why your next pathfinder should be a wiki

June 20, 2007

Pathfinders lead researchers through information jungles.  They make sense of the huge variety of information buckets. 

 

They can suggest keywords and tags and call numbers. They can suggest books and journals to browse. They link researchers to critical readings and websites and blogs and wikis and portals and databases. They suggest strategies for searching and for documentation. 

 

In the voice of the librarian, they make sure that student researchers know about the very best tools in their information toolkits.  Pathfinders allow us to intervene in ways that offer learners they independence they crave.

 

In the 70s we created them in print.  I suspect some of us still do.
