Thing 16 - wikis

The wiki thing...
Wikis are very super cool. The SJPL children's librarians have a wiki on pbwiki where we share story times, program ideas and more. Many librarians have added to it so far. We've had a few glitches here and there, but overall it has been a great way for us to share information. It sure beats getting all those emails with story time plans to download. So this is a very cool application of wikis to library service. It could also be used for procedures and other staff information. I liked the BookLoversWiki and think it would be cool to have a wiki-type feature on the library catalog, where customers can actually provide feedback about items in the collection.
