Over the past few years there has been a growing trend in the use of wikis and blogs to help conference attendees prepare for upcoming meetings and to document the content of presentations so that all may participate in at least a virtual manner. Some recent examples of conference wikis are:

• ALA: 2005 and 2006 annual meetings and 2007 midwinter meeting
• Internet Librarian: 2005 and 2006 annual meetings
  
• Computers in Libraries: 2006 annual meeting
  

This year's ASIST annual meeting, which I will attending as a presenter at a workshop on blogs and wikis, now has its own conference blog and wiki set up.

Following the example of many other conferences and meetings, perhaps we should have a LACUNY Institute wiki. Please add your comments to this post with any thoughts about this proposal.
