Wiki Wonders

Some of the links on this topic were a bit dry and I already knew about Wikipedia and how it worked but it was still interesting to think about how we could use something like this for library purposes. In a branch such as ours where we have a great many part time and casual staff I think we could use a wiki instead of staff meetings, as long as people are encouraged, and given time, to look at it frequently and add their comments.

The existing wiki I liked best was the booklovers one and I could see this working well throughout Manukau Libraries with staff posting their reviews of books they've read and adding to everyone's readers' advisory knowledge.
