What did you find interesting? What types of applications within libraries might work well with a wiki?
I like that it is so easy to add things to the wiki, but at the same time that is a draw back. Anyone can type whatever they want into the wiki, and you have to keep an eye on it to make sure that it is something that is okay to be on the website (no curse words or anything else inappropriate). One application that would be great using a wiki in the library is readers advisory. Patrons can share their thoughts and opinions on books, movies, CDs, or any other items they check out from the library. Librarians can also keep an eye out for suggestions to add to the collection based on how many patrons are reading a certain series or author. A wiki can also be a good way to find out how patrons felt about certain programs and any ideas they may have for future programs. It is a great way of getting patron feedback without conducting a survey.
