#16 So what's in a wiki?
I discovered the "Book Lovers Wiki" developed by Princeton Public Library and was very impressed with it. I can see how useful this type of tool is for informing communities about literature or any other topic where discussion adds value to our appreciation of life and experiences.
This 2-way dialogue is of great value to any public library service wishing to promote "virtual branches" of their services. The fact that staff can monitor stubs and/or complete entries is a bonus.
I can see that summer reading clubs would greatly benefit from wikis as well as reading groups, etc.
