I had my doubts about wikis but now I am sold. The main problem I have is that anybody can edit them but this may actually be an advantage. Wikis would be especially useful for subject guides, annotating the catalog and for either a staff project or staff intranet.
A wiki for a subject guide would allow staff and students to to edit and recommend useful links. A useful one to look at on subject guides is SJCPL Subject Guides. The wiki is well layed out.
Patrons could post synopses and reviews of books if a wiki link was included in the catalog. I could not find an example of one though.
I tried in vain to find edit and include my favourite blog (my own!!!!!!) in sandbox but no luck. I will not give in to it.
