• Wiki (from the Hawaiian “wiki-wiki” or “quick”) is a generic term for an easy-to-use collaborative webspace. • Wikipedia is one of the best-known examples of a wiki. It is a “multilingual, web-based, encyclopedia project” that may be consulted at www.wikipedia.org. • Wikispaces is an online service for creating and hosting “wikis” at www.wikispaces.com. • The Healey Library Wiki is a set of pages offering course-related resources for UMass Boston students. Healey Library has chosen to use the Wikispaces online service to quickly prepare and make available to UMass Boston students Library information that is tailored to their specific courses. That space is the “Healey Library Wiki”, available at healeylibrary.wikispaces.com. You are at this moment viewing an informational page within the Healey Library Wiki.
