Wikis

There is a lot of information available in the wikis. I enjoyed looking at several library wikis. I like the idea of sharing program ideas in a give-and-take setting. We are thinking of starting a wiki for our children's department because we are a branch system and only get to meet 4 times a year. Through a wiki we can share resources and ideas easily. Also I think a Book Review wiki would be fun. Library staff could post some of their favorite books and then others could add their comments. I do use Wikipedia sometimes, but I don't trust the information totally because anyone can edit it! I see a place for a site like Wikipedia but my fear is that someone may take everything it offers as fact.
