Thing #16

Wikis are a good tool for people to use to collect and post helpful information on just about anything. I wouldn't use one as a source for a research project or paper, but that's not really its purpose in my opinion. I particularly liked the Library Success wiki and the Library Instruction wiki. These two sites are wonderful resources that allow users to contribute their best practices so that everyone has access to some great ideas on programming and more.


As far as applications within the library go, using it as a reader's advisory tool would be great. That way workers and patrons can contribute to the wiki, so it creates a way for everyone to get involved.
