#16 wikis

I like the idea of the reader reviews on the book lovers blog, the wiki format makes it easy to manage- but it could have been done on a blog too I think? The subject guide blog is not very attractive visually- & the news item was about the 2006 winter olympics! Which I guess proves that the golden rule applies no matter how hi tech you are- if you can't maintain it, forget it! But I really like the way you can list links at the side, in categories. My goodness I can't believe the illustration on the library best practice wiki is a card catalogue!!!!!!!!!What an incongruous image. I really do think that if we are going to use wikis in public libraries we are going to have to make them look more appealing. We have started an ideas wiki for staff, called the Idea Box. We will also be creating an Information Services wiki to try to cut down on emails flying back & forth
