Get a Free PBwiki Account (Worth $250) if You're a Librarian or Teacher

via LibrarianInBlack by Sarah Houghton-Jan on 8/13/08

A big thanks to The Krafty Librarian for pointing this sweet deal out: PBwiki's Back to School Challenge
provides librarians and educators with a free premium PBwiki account for one year ($250 value). Here's a link to the premium account features (if you're curious). The Challenge is noted as starting in mid-August, which is in a couple of days, but you can sign up now to be alerted when it's up.

In any case, if you think you could use PBwiki at you library for a part of your web presence (like a recommended books wiki, or a book club wiki, or a summer reading wiki) then take them up on their offer now and figure out how to use it later :)

And remember - a wiki is just a fancy way to say "a web presence that non-webbies can edit easily." Although inviting public participation would be lovely, ou don't have to do that. You could have it be a wiki that only library staff edit, thereby making it a simple extension of your web presence on which you can do stuff quickly and easily. Who wouldn't like that?
