Week 11 complete. So much in this week it was all rather overwhelming. Lots of places for collaborative online work. I'd like to see a listing (Tada list?)as the different forms are tried, including blogs, wikis etc, to see which work best, where and how within the library world.

There are lots of possibilities.
You are right that there are some tools which work better for some jobs than for others. I don't think anyone has attempted a definitive list - you can see examples here http://www.libsuccess.org/index.php?title=Main_Page and here http://www.blogwithoutalibrary.net/links/index.php?title=Welcome_to_the_Blogging_Libraries_Wiki
It is really important to think about what you want the tool to do - if you want a conversation with your clients a blog (provided you have the comments turned on) will encourage that. If you are after developing a tool for recording collaborations - a wiki is better. These are just two examples, but the list goes on and on and on. I would suggest reading David lee King's blog (http://www.davidleeking.com/) and Michael Stephen's blog (http://tametheweb.com/)because they at least alert you to a lot of these tools, and they describe their learning experience (which is important).
