Thing 5- Wikis

  • What so you think of the listed examples? Are they functional?
  • Is your library using a wiki?
    • If so, for what function?
    • If not, what internal projects at your library might benefit from using a wiki?
I like the the Book Lovers wiki. I like reading what average readers think of books in addition to what the critics think.
We use wikis in our library and for some of our college governance committees.  In the library, the wiki I use the most is the one set up for our library guides. We can communicate with librarians on other campuses about changes and the wiki notifies via email when a change has been made.

I think a wiki for collection development might be a good idea when you have several people selecting items. It would be nice if we could interface with our acquisitions vendor.
