This week I looked at a few of what appears to be a growing multitude of library wikis. Each one was unique in its own respect. I enjoyed the Book Lovers Wiki, which was developed by the Princeton Public Library. It features book reviews by customers who were registered in their Adult Summer Reading program. The St. Joseph County Public Library’s wiki was basically a collection of subject guides. While, the ALA developed a wiki to coincide with their 2006 New Orleans conference.
Because of the collaborative nature of wikis, they seem to be an ideal tool for many library related functions, such as collecting links, providing readers advisory, & providing a database for frequently asked questions.
