#16 Wikis

In a flush of enthusiasm I enrolled as a contributor to Wikipedia, and that great resource was really all I knew about wikis until this week. I am now starting to see the many applications for wikis within our own library service. We have many enthusiastic library patrons who are widely-read and would love to pass on their knowledge. This is evident whenever we have book talks in the library. If these enthusiasts could add book-reviews to a library wiki, it would really add to the whole library experience and give patrons a greater sense of partnership and pride in the service. Subject-guides are also a great idea, with obsolete links removable by users.
