Thing 16: Wikis

One of my favorite wikis was Princeton's BookLoversWiki. What a great way for customers and librarians to share reviews! Think of the Adult Summer Reading Game going towards this angle. It would also help staff with reader's advisories. Maybe even a film lover wiki! The list is endless. This even seems a safer venue for a public wiki since the information is opinion based and not hard fact...this would pose less problems for malicious content and spam, I would think.

Internally, a wiki for children's programming may be useful. Since many of our programs are developing and morphing as our customer's (and our) needs change...a collaborative effort on program plans and booklists may be useful.
