Explored - St. Josephs' County Public Library Subject Guide.
- iread - a readers' advisory wiki from Iowa librarians.
- Biz Wiz - business resources available through Ohio University Libraries.
- Library Success - a profession wide Wiki to record Library Best Practice.
Played - in the Wiki Sandbox - adding 2 entries to "my favourite vacation spots" and "my favourite restaurants".
WIKIS - can open up new possibilities for collaboration between the Library and its patrons.
- can be used for Intranets, collaborative projects, document creation, and text edits.
- can be a great format for "subject guides" - by allowing the Librarian to moderate the wiki with her input or by allowing patron contribution.
- can allow users to post synopses and book reviews - capitalising on the reading experiences of patrons in order to help them make informed reading choices from the Library Catalogue.
- posting community information onto a "Community Wiki" - would allow any community member to add new informative content.
Summary -
Librarians, utilising wikis, can become community resources - positioning the library as an on-line hub of the community.
