Thing 16 Wikis

Wikis are another tool for sharing knowledge and opinions. The best use I can see for us is reviews of books and websites, and databases.

Book reviews and recommendations are the basis for good readers advisory service. But we can't all read everything, so a collaborative effort between staff and readers makes a lot of sense. Sian's blog is a start, and I think we can expand that in exciting ways. One wiki I accessed had links from the reviews to the catalogu record, and it could also go the other way - a link on the catalogue record to the reviews.

Tips on using databases and catalogued websites would also be a useful feature
