Wikis are the subject of my ramblings for this post.
As an avid user of Wikipedia I was interested to look at this exercise. There seems to be no end of use in terms of application of Wikis in Libraries.
They can and are used for very dry subjects such as Project management and strategic stuff but also for more fun practical things such as book reviews.
Princeton Library applied the book review scenario to their Wiki but I found that it seemed to cover more fiction stuff and not enough good non fiction stuff.
It would be a great concept to create a Wiki fo staff and customers to use to post reviews etc about books even possibly linking it to the Library catalogue.
This would be a great aid in helping people to choose books.
Libraries could perhaps apply the Wiki process to major projects such as rennovations so that customers can not only see what the concept for the finished rennovation is but they could perhaps get on and contribute positive or negative feedback on the rennovations once done.
Well that's pretty much enough waffling for now but Wikis could be a good practical tool for Libraries.
