Discover
Well I thought Wiki=Wikipedia, I didn't even realise anyone could set up a wiki or there were so many out there. The problem of false information is still a concern though there are benefits such as being more up to date than printed resources.
I liked the wikis for Rochester NY and SJCPL subject guides. Better than a traditional catalogue and great for community information. Groups could update their information to include more than just contact details anda brief description; the public could add book or restaurant reviews.
The Library Success Wiki was great to find out what other libraries are doing or for learning about current issues in libraries
Not interested in the Star Wars wookieepedia though!
The BookloversWiki was great too, similar to an online book club and patrons/ staff could suggest books to increase loans.
I could see wikis being useful for coordinating library activities- perhaps cut down on meetings??!! Set up a wiki for upcoming library events, policy changes, even a roster (ha ha- no more Friday night shifts with someone you don't like!)
